Some users who started a test-project on Incubator made a request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Middle_...
As you can see, it's the fourth one for that language already. I see no reason why this time it's different, so it should be rejected.
Hoi, Indeed. Gerard

There have been some discussions on the proposal - also some mails were sent to this list, but I discarded them as a list admin because they were just copies of people's comments from the Meta page without it being clear who was sending these mails - but nothing convincing was brought forth, it was rather derailed by pointing out "oh but there are so many contributors!!!". I closed the proposal accordingly.
Comment for the record: This is still, as pointed out on the previous request, "an extinct proto-language". New Wikipedias in ancient or historical languages are not allowed by the Language Proposal Policy, and especially in this case, there is really no point in having a Wikipedia in a language that nobody uses anymore, while at the same time, Wikipedia in the current form of the language is alive and thriving. --MF-W 21:06, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Imho those who suggested it this time should point out what makes their proposal different from the previous ones. Bet, jan
