[edit] Arguments in favour
- Support Support Basque is a language that is different from all the other languages there are. The Wikipedia runs good. There are many people who speak basque. --Ooswesthoesbes 15:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Support Support Good idea KoMuNeRo MaG 17:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Support Support Good idea, and Basque projects are good--Bengoa (My user talk) 18:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Support Support It's a extremely good idea to create Basque Wikinews. Although Basque is a small language (spoken by +1,200,000 people worldwide), it should have Wikinews proyect. i think it's very interesting and many people would contribute. For example the Basque Wikipedia has 35,000 articles and more than 3,000 users. I think that this proposal should be accepted. Moreover, has this proyect any inconvenience? --An13sa 18:35, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support Support Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 04:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

- Support Support Those of us who want to learn or expand our Euskara would greatly benefit from this project Ð’ntalk 00:26, 16 Feb 2010
- Support Support Basque language is becoming very alive (both in France and in Spain), I think a Wikinews project is important. --Sarvaturi 08:36, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Arguments against
- Oppose Oppose I'm not saying it would be a bad idea I just don't believe there would be enough people to keep it running (Red4tribe 16:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC))
- Oppose Oppose The Basque Wikipedia is to small to have a News spinoff. --jeroen 02:01, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] General discussion
First, I'm sorry because of my English.
I think the Basque language needs a Wikinews in euskara. The basque language has his wikipedia, with 26,000 articles actually, and more tham 2,000 users. Basque is a litle language between big languages (French, Spanish...) but I have to sau that: Basque is the first language in Europe, I think a Basque Wikinews will be interesting.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arah_eh (talk • contribs) .Tosão 14:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- I agree with you. Basque is the oldest language in Europe (it has more than 3,000 years) and it should have a wikinews page. Tosão I have to correct you. Now (2009-february), the Basque wikipedia has 35,283 articles and 7,153 users. See [1] for more statistics.
