I support your suggestions in all four cases.
Should we start looking for a Manchu expert concerning verification?
On the other hand, they may not have fulfilled the requirements yet.
There do not seem to be enough translated messages [1]. And the active
editors rarely have 10+ edits per month *consistently* [2].
In any case, it's a nice development indeed.

I promised I was going to keep old project requests moving along after
the new year. So here are four:
Wikipedia Swabian
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Swabian>:
Propose to reject. Although it has a language code, Swabian is already
included within Alemannic Wikipedia. Starting initial seven-day clock
on this now.
Wikipedia Manchu
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Manchu_2> (on
hold since March 2010, waiting for native speakers): Marking eligible.
This project has been fairly active on Incubator recently, and the
tool to allow the vertical Manchu script is working very nicely.
Wikipedia Kutchi
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kutchi>:
Marking eligible. Has a language code, and about 875,000 speakers in
India and Pakistan.
Wikipedia Kumaoni
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kumaoni>:
Marking as "on hold". In principle, should be eligible. But there is
no test project on Incubator, and most speakers are bilingual in
Hindi. (It's not that these are mutually intelligible languages, just
that Hindi is a lingua franca in the area.) So I'd like to place this
on hold until someone comes who is interested in starting the project.
