There is a https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Po... marked by StevenJ81 to be revisited around 1 December 2019. Since there is some activity on the wiki, I propose to close this closing proposal as unsuccessful.
I think we should cut our losses and move on. The project sees about 200 edits per month https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/pl.wikinews.org/contributing/edits/normal|bar|2-year|~total|monthly, and the majority of the top edited pages https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/pl.wikinews.org/contributing/top-edited-pages/normal|table|last-month|~total|monthly from last month was on recent deaths, all one-sentence pieces -- like this one https://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/Piotr_Machalica_nie_%C5%BCyje. Sorry, I may be a bit biased here because I believe Wikinews is a failed project in its entirety, but in any case we would be right to expect a level of activity from its editions that exceeds what we would expect from other projects that can actually afford to be dormant.

I have no problem with such a decision per se. However, I'd say in order to make it, the decision at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Po... should be revived first (feel free to do so!). The last comments there were in May 2020, against the closure, and a closure now would come out of the blue and feel unfair to me, especially since the project is still active (still = it was also claimed to be active in May 2020). In this month, 15 new articles have already been written, and that might be a low number - I don't know about how many articles "active" Wikinewses get - but it's still more than one per day.
