This right here is the key the whole thread. 
Wikipedia sub-domains are seperated by written
languages not nations.  The goal should be to have the
least amount of subdomains possible to concetrate
reasources.  When in doubt we should not create a
subdomain.  

The question I have is are we going to examine all
current (or at least inactive) subdomains in the near
future for merging possibilities?
