Hoi, Having a criterion that is dependent on the English language Wikipedia is not and cannot be seriously considered as a standard. What it considers note worthy is not necessarily relevant from a linguistic or otherwise point of view. Thanks, GerardM

What is "notable"?
Notable enough to have a Featured Article about [[Modern Latin literature]] or [[Modern Coptic literature]] on English Wikipedia or another major-language Wikipedia.
English should not have a wiki? I don't think it's a very good criteria if even our most prolific non-extinct language doesn't qualify.
I'm proposing a standard for languages that don't have native speakers, which must be judged solely on the output of their written literatures.
This would not restrict Wikipedias for languages with native speakers.
(Obviously [[Modern English literature]] is notable enough a subject to be FA-worthy anyway, and it would hardly need to be demonstrated)
Thanks, Pharos
