This is a complete lie. langcom already exists when a classical chinese wikipedia was created.

No. A quote from the document:
"This discussion was created before the implementation of the Language proposal policy, and it is incompatible with the policy. Please open a new proposal in the format this page has been converted to (see the instructions). Do not copy discussion wholesale, although you are free to link to it or summarise it (feel free to copy your own comments over). —{admin} Pathoschild 04:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)"

Langcom was created September 2006, zh-classical in July 2006. The request page you linked wasn't updated after the creation of zh-classical and that's the reason why at the top of the request page there is a box, that says the request was closed (and not 'approved') after the creation of langcom.

Please take care of your wording. Maybe someone sorted something wrong, maybe you sorted something wrong. There is no need to call other people lyer, not in this mailing list. Thank you very much.
