[edit] Arguments in favour

  • It is time to give Baloch people Opportunity to use open contents in their language. -Mostafadaneshvar 23:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Native speakers of Baluchi are willing to contribute to this project in the long-term, hence this project has the potential to flourish like the other Northwestern Iranian language Wikipedia editions such as Gilaki, Mazanderani etc. Therefore the Baluchi language ought to be given the opportunity and priviledge to have its own language edition of Wikipedia. --Jose77 08:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I agree to create Balouchi wikipedia. - Mehdi.taajer 10:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

[edit] Other discussion

The language policy allows for only one language code for Baluchi... given that bcc is chosen, do you agree that you want to have a project for Southern Baluchi ? 08:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we agree. First I suggested "bal" code for starting localizing but it is generic code so we decided to work on "bcc".Mostafa 08:48, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
I was going to comment on that. Maybe it could be labelled as just Baluchi to avoid being restrictive, as a dialect code is basically imposed by a quirk in the ISO code anyway? I'm not familiar enough with the issue to tell whether these are legitimately dialects or languages, though. Circeus 20:20, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
There is an explicit need to be restrictive in this. GerardM 10:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Localisation update

  • Currently 100.00% 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 12:55, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Observable information

  • There are currently not enough articles.. The articles that I have seen are of a nice size. Thanks, GerardM 12:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
  • There is also not enough activity. GerardM 12:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
