[edit] Arguments in favour

  • Support if a native speaker is available, and an incubator with at least some localization is begun. if successful a wikipedia for such a small language would be fantastic, it is doable. Malaysia has a high degree of internet access.Qrc2006 18:28, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • this is a real small group of speakers and there is no activity to be seen. GerardM 21:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
  • extremely small language for Internet presence. No activity or support for project whatsoever. No other references present. No need to keep this open, I think. Siebrand 11:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Where is the Native speaker? Mikhailov Kusserow (talk) 06:49, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I do not see enough of a number of people that speak this language to support the creation of this Wikipedia at this time. Since a small number of people speak this language, there are doubts as to whether or not you will get enough active contributors to make this Wikipedia work Cheers, Razorflame 16:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't think this is really necessary, given the excessively small group of native speakers. –Juliancolton (talk) 20:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Oppose Strong Oppose Even though the language is progressively dying, we have no incubator project. Most importantly, most people who speak the language have no access to the internet. --Kanzler31 03:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose- Malay also their language.--Aplikasi 03:20, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Other discussion

According to Ethnologue there are only 1600 people speaking the language .. can you tell more about the people proposing this project ? GerardM 14:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Localisation update

  • Currently 0.00% of the most used MediaWiki messages have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM
