Hoi,
A language is eligible in the WMF context when the language committee says so. You can find a list of languages that were requested on Meta. In principle a language will be pronounced as eligible when it has an ISO-639-3 code and when people ask for it.

As you may know, in the past there were people who asked for any and all language because they could. That proved to be a mistake. The result is that people demanded no more new languages and as a compromise the language committee and policy came into being. 

Consequently, the first step after the ability to support languages in Wikidata is to enable the eligible new languages with an Incubator project. When this is done, the language committee will consider other languages. One at a time and with a request on Meta.
Thanks,
     GerardM

How is "eligible" defined in this context? Is there a general list of eligible languages somewhere?
Or a list of ones not eligible?

Hoi,
The list I am looking for include only the ones that are eligible. Many in this list are already supported as well (Indonesian for instance) and there are also languages in there that are not eligible.
Thanks,

 Here you go - I extracted all language codes and names from the
list of incubator wikis at:
