Do you mean wikipedias like the latin one should not to exist?
It's a borderline case. It's well over a century since scientific papers
were commonly written in Latin, and about forty years since the Second
Vatican Council recommended the abolition of the tridentine mass, which
was predominately Latin. I studied the language at school but my children
did not. If the choice today were between Latin and a language with
living native speakers and a strong written culture I would choose the
latter. But I do not rule out Latin, Klingon, Quenya or Sindarin, but I
hope we'll not place such marginal entities above real people. Of course
if nobody is prepared to work on a Wikipedia in a given language, the
question does not arise.
