The "proposal for closure" for Klingon led to its complete removal. The "proposal for closure" for Low Saxon Wikiquote I once started (my intention was removal of the project) ended with locking of the database only.
If I recall correctly (and my internal timeline could be off), the incubator was not created until after the closure of the Klingon project. The language subcommittee has played a pretty large part in helping to standardize the process of opening new projects, and a similar standardization should occur concerning the closure of projects. I think there is a general assumption that currently the word "closure" implies "moving to the incubator", even if this assumption was not true in the past. I know, even if he hasn't articulated it yet, that "moving to the incubator" is what GerardM has been meaning by "closing a project".
If this isn't the standard, i propose that from here forward that it should be.
