Ugh. In that case I propose to deny eligibility (and then to get rid of the Incubator pages).

It's just another one of these "these words don't exist in this language so we're going to borrow all of them from Russian" projects, which they even state on their page "Also because all words are not documented in kamassian, all missing words we loaned from the russian language."

That's not revitalizing a language, it's making a mockery of it. It's also the MO used in all the other small Finno-Ugric language incubator projects (or borrowing words from Finnish). Here's another one that he works on ( https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/yrk/Main_Page). The front page is in Russian except for a few words of Nenets.
The fact that they couldn't wait for even approval does not also bode well.

Here is an interesting request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kamassi...
They already created some pages on Incubator: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/xas/%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D...
"The last native speaker of the Kamassian dialect, Klavdiya Plotnikova, died in 1989. Kamassian was spoken in Russia, north of the Sayan Mountains, by Kamasins. There is an attempted revival of Kamassian with sligthly less than 10 people involved" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamassian_language _______________________________________________ Langcom mailing list Langcom@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/langcom
