However, given that all notable arguments have already been exchanged, I think the best way to go about this is to simply start a vote on Meta on whether we want a Klingon Wikipedia. I suggest you do it.
There was never a vote on Meta on whether to start a Wikipedia in German, Polish, Swedish or Norwegian.
Those are natural languages that are used by many millions of people every day. There is *absolutely* no question whatsoever that we should have encyclopedias for those languages and that there are enough people interested in working on such encyclopedias to make them viable projects.
Artificial languages are not so clear cut. Some like Esperanto are obvious candidates for inclusion since they have regular international conferences and their own published literature. But for the less obvious cases I do think that a set of criteria should be followed and if the creation is still controversial, then a vote should be held to settle the issue.
