Kurdish is a very large language in the Orient, with nearly 20–35 million native speakers. In Irak, Turkey, Iran and Syria this language is spoken by a huge number of the people.

There do already exist Kurdish WikiMedia-Projects, e.g. the kurdish Wikipedia with now nearly 10.000 articles and a wiktionary with nearly 35.000 articles. So there will be a future for this new Kurdish Project. --Bangin 17:34, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments in favour

  • It is necessary for every language to live in all aspects of Wikimedia. --Zandweb 02:41, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. --Kaaveh Ahangar 22:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • Comment Out of the 10,000 articles practically almost all are stubs created in a bot like manner. There are serious problems on KU wiki on a variety of problems ranging from neutrality to copyright violations. KU.wiki doesn't have much of a matured community. Very few active editors. I feel it is far too early for this. It should be experimented on the incubator either way. -- Cat chi? 17:41, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
    I'd like to add that wikinews has time constraints unlike other wikis. I do not believe there is enough of a Kurdish wikipedia community to cover world news in a systematic manner. -- Cat chi? 11:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I thing this project won't be good. --Absar 10:41, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
    This wasn't an argument against, it was just an opinion without any comment. --Bangin 14:03, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
    Please do not strike out other peoples comments even if you disagree with them. The closing person of this discussion is more than qualified to weight arguments. -- Cat chi? 14:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
  • No activity. --OosWesThoesBes 06:57, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not enough support (Red4tribe 17:06, 23 April 2008 (UTC))
