(I am obviously biased on the Norwegian Wikinews, but I'll share my
opinions, but this shouldn't count as a vote.)
The top news story on the Norwegian Wikinews is that Erna Solberg was
elected prime minister. The news story is four years old (and even at the
time was a one-off in a slate of inactivity), but ironically became
relevant again this fall when she was re-elected. The story was made by a
non-native speaker, and had plenty of spelling mistakes and whatnot until
they were fixed by a native speaker six months later.
In my opninion, the fact that this project is still "open" (despite the
wishes of practically all Norwegian Wikimedia community members) is nothing
less than an embarrasment for the movement. So I would support closing it,
but not moving content to Incubator. Moving eight–eleven year old news
articles just to move them is just a waste of time and resources. If it
should get an active Incubator community (unlikely to happen, but
theoretically possible), it would be better for that community to start
with a clean slate and not have to bother about the old infrastructure and
content that was made years ago and should be obsolete by now.

I think both proposals should be rejected. Norwegian
Wikinews in
particular as it has way too many pages. If a "rebirth" happens in
Incubator, it could just as well or even better happen on the subdomain. I
don't want a pointless painful page-moving like nl.wikinews again.

Concerning Bosnian Wikibooks: That's fine.
Assuming no further
comments by tomorrow (one week after I brought it back up to the
committee), I will close that one as unsuccessful (that is, project remains
open). That said, Milos, I would encourage you to look through the small
number of mainspace pages there and see if there is anything that shouldn't
be there. (One of the posters on that proposal claimed that one page was in
English, and one appeared to be spam. You can certainly mark inappropriate
pages for deletion and have a steward or GS sweep around and delete them.)
Concerning Norwegian Wikinews: I haven't heard from anyone yet. So I will
assume a seven day clock starting today, and if I hear nothing further I
will also close that as unsuccessful.
