Because the people who actually use it would not consider it Romanian.

But the ISO standard that we use for these decisions does. From what I can tell, it is Romanian pure and simple, people saying otherwise are doing so for purely political reasons.

This is true yes (well mostly anyway I think one thing all sides can agree on is that that Romanian is not written in cyrillic). However this argument would also requires us to merge the Central South Slavic diasystem wikis something I feel best attempted from a long way away. Neptune perhaps.
Hoi, One thing that all sides cannot agree on is that Romanian is also written in Cyrillic. Thanks, GerardM

...and of course everybody always forgets Malay and Indonesian. The people from these Wikipedias seem to have little desire to merge, but it is a fact of life that Indonesian is just a standardised Malay dialect, and that probably 95% of text copied from ms.wp to id.wp will be perfectly correct, with only a handful of regional differences.

Hoi, This is not a valid argument.. By the way deprecated does not mean invalid. That IS a valid argument why it is not necessary to rename. Thanks, GerardM
