I have refrained from commenting on this post in the interest of lessening the impact on people's inboxes. However, I feel that after a cursory inspection of my own, I should probably make a few points. One is that in the year or so I have been subscribed to this list, I cannot think of any major decision made as a result of discussion here. Another is that perennial stuff tends to have a snowball's chance in hell of being passed. Therefore continuing this discussion here is a waste of time and will only serve to irritate list recipients. Please, for the sake of our inboxes, end this thread.

Proposals to close Simple English projects are like the perennial proposals of Wikipedia: not going to happen. As long as a project has an active community, there really is no good reason to close a project. OK, Simple English might not meet current standards for language, but it has an active community, and uprooting that for the sake of some policy seems unproductive.
