Arguments in favour [edit]
- A living language. Yup'ik wikipedia will help Yup'ik language community on the lower Kuskokwim River, on Nelson Island, and along the coast between the Kuskokwim River and Nelson Island. Yup'ik literary language needs support for further development. Yup'ik wiki will also be of help for all those specialized in Yup'ik language and traditions studies in modern world.--JT 09:12, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support - living language with many active members, as seen at Chevak şu an Facebook'ta [8]. Fagusius 16:59, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support - It's important to keep indigenous languages alive. If they die out, much valuable information (folk songs, poems, etc) will be lost because nobody would be able to understand it. Kanzler31 22:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- Support - Same as Kanzler31. Chabi 06:14, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

According to the esu entry in Ethnologue, this is a living language, used at home, there's a grammar for it and it is written in the Latin alphabet.
I contacted User:Rower Chevak and invited her to explain here how he would contribute to this project and told her to open an account on translatewiki.net . --Amir E. Aharoni 14:31, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
Localisation has started. For the creation of the project, is it necessary to translate all the MediaWiki messages or just the most used ones? --Seksen iki yüz kırk beş 15:45, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Project eligible [edit]
Project is eligible. Please, go to Translatewiki and ask for setting up the localization for Central Alaskan Yup'ik. If you have some doubts, feel free to contact me (millosh@gmail.com or via my talk page). --Millosh 14:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
