Wikipedia Simple
French<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…_3>:
This request proposes to create the Simple French Wikipedia using français fondamental,
which LangCom has explicitly cited as an example of a simple Wikipedia that would be
allowable under current rules. At the same time, current rules wouldn't allow a simple
French project on Incubator; instead, the preference would be to incubate that within
French Wikipedia. (If nothing else, allowing Simple French on Incubator, but no other
simple project, would open an enormous can of worms ...) I think what I am going to do
here is to email the user and ask him if he has ever taken up the idea of incubating
within French Wikipedia with that community—and if so, what that community responded. If,
though, the community does not want to do so, do I allow in Incubator? Encourage them to
incubate within Incubator Plus? (OWTB and I are in the process of creating a replacement
Incubator Plus somewhere else besides Wikia.) I'd strongly appreciate people's
thoughts about these questions.
Wikipedia
Sherpa<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…
(xsr): Only one mainspace page. Closing as stale.
Wikipedia Ottoman
Turkish<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikip…
(ota): This is a large, periodically active test. It last had pages added in June 2018.
It's different enough from modern Turkish that I don't think a script converter
does the job here. I'm not sure why this would be less eligible than Coptic, for
example, given its historical importance and literature. Thoughts?
Wikipedia Goalpariya
(
Rangpuri)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wik…
(rkt): 8 pages created over three years (2012–15). 15 million speakers. Marking as
eligible.
Wikipedia Hawaiian
Pidgin<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…
(hwc): Different from Hawaiian. But there is no test on Incubator. Closing as stale.
Wikipedia Jewish Bablyonian (Talmudic)
Aramaic<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikip…
(tmr): The principal language of the Bablyonian Talmud. Test had a page added this year,
but its other five mainspace pages date back to around the time of the request. Shall we
just close as stale, or shall I contact the original proposer?
