Propose to reject. SIL marks as an ancient language; it's a predecessor of Coptic. Writing is hieroglyphics. There is no test project underway at Incubator, and the original proposer has not been active in over five years.</div>

<div>Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Nigerian Pidgin (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Nigerian_Pidgin" alt="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Nigerian_Pidgin" id="85797">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Nigerian_Pidgin</a>):
Marking as eligible. Ethnologue gives a figure (dating to 2005) of 30 million speakers; though not all are native, it's a widely used pidgin. Ethnologue says there isn't really a written standard, but as of 2016 there is a BBC service in the pidgin, so we
can probably steer people in that direction to some extent. </div>

<div>Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Pipil (<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pipil" alt="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pipil" id="62281">https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pipil</a>):
Marking as eligible. Central American language classified by Glottolog as an Eastern Nahuatl language. Pipil is near extinction, and test project hasn't been all that active recently. But there's a decent amount of content there, and if it's valid content,
then this is probably a project that should be encouraged. No objections were noted on the RFL page.</div>

Propose to reject. See <a href="http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/homs1234" alt="http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/homs1234" id="484807">
http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/homs1234</a>: Western Armenian dialect not fully intelligible with Armenian. It has no ISO code, and a small number of L1 speakers. The proposal dates to the (northern hemisphere) summer of 2010, and there has been
no material discussion there since then. If it ever gets a code, we could revisit; if Western Armenian gets a code, it could possibly be included there.</div>
