Please give this comments during the voting phase, not
*after* the wiki
has been approved
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages
I'm not the one to judge, I just created what was listed there.
Plenty of such comments were given in the voting phase, but in the end
they didn't matter because the for vote could garner more people. I
guess an open vote is not the best way to handle this kind of things,
because the amount of interest, and thus the willingness to skew the
vote by bringing in friends who otherwise would not have noticed it
and possibly aren't even wikipedians, is so much different for the two
sides. Open discussions and votes like this are a good way to check
whether there is sufficient interest to create a language Wikipedia.
For other criteria, it would be better to have some predefined group
take the decision after hearing the arguments from both sides.
