Hello,
You said before:
other things are considered as well prior
to giving the eligible status.
As indicated earlier, all members of the language
committee were explicitly asked to consider the issue that you raise.
And
The reason why the *internal *deliberations of the language committee are
not open is because one of the members is not
free to have the
deliberations
published.
Those imply an argument that goes beyond a simple question. And that is
what
I was referring to (and I guess that's what others are referring to as
well).

Hoi,
Again, when the proposal for Egyptian Arabic was posted, I asked the
members
of the language committee if we should allow for these languages to have
a
Wikipedia. The reply was that we should. Nobody
opposed this.
Consequently
after a week, the status of eligible was given.
This is all the argument as it happened. Again, this has been said
before...
Thanks,
GerardM

one of
the sides in an ongoing -'partisan' if you may, the term is used
