This request has not necessarily been rejected, and new requests are welcome. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy.

The closing committee member provided the following comment:

This discussion was created before the implementation of the Language proposal policy, and it is incompatible with the policy. Please open a new proposal in the format this page has been converted to (see the instructions). Do not copy discussion wholesale, although you are free to link to it or summarise it (feel free to copy your own comments over). —{admin} Pathoschild 06:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Note: Some comments came from before native speakers noted their approval on this page.

  1. Oppose with fire no native speakers requested this. - FrancisTyers 10:18, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Question: If native speakers show up and prove willingness to take responsibility for the implementation of this project will you withdraw your current opposition?--Harvzsf 05:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    If more than five dedicated native speakers show up, and request this Wiki with the intention of building an encyclopaedia then sure I'd withdraw my opposition. We don't need another Tajik Wikipedia, with no good articles and no native speakers to improve it. - FrancisTyers 16:18, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    For what it's worth, the Norman Wikipedia has only 2 native speakers (one at start) and is now nearing 1,000 articles. A successful test wikipedia is a much better sign than counting the number of native speakers. That said, I'm Weak Oppose against anything that does not have a test Wikipedia with at LEAST 25 articles. The Jade Knight 05:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I would like to further add that Tajik Wikipedia does have a dedicated native speaker now; in fact, the number of articles over there has slowly grown from 31 to 81. --Jose77 10:53, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose As was said: against anything that does not have a test Wikipedia with at LEAST 25 articles. I fully agree with this requirement. --Reo On|+|+ 00:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose, nobody is going to write in this Wikipedia --Jeffrey Garland 14:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • How can you be sure of that? As someone from the Philippines, I found your comment totally contrary to the facts on the ground. Sure, only a few might be persuaded to contribute time and effort improving that Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean that nobody will right in them. Hiligaynon is a widespread language in our country. --Bentong Isles 14:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Yet another wikipedia, dead from birth -- Raghav 14:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion to help this proposal: since there are anonymous IPs who list themselves as native speakers who are willing to the growth of the Hiligaynon Wikipedia, it is highly recommended that these people register as to make their votes count. Or if they have an account on an existing Wikimedia project (i.e. Wikipedia), they can list that too! --Sky Harbor 14:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone, the Hiligaynon Test Wikipedia can now be found Here alongside the other Incubation Wikipedias.
