[edit] Arguments in favour

Good idea. In wikisource, yes, there aren only 3 pages, but in the new basque wikisource there are going more.--Bengoa (My user talk) 18:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I think Basque (Euskara) can easy handle this. You could compare Basque with Limburgish. Basque might have got half a million speakers less, it's more a writing language than Limburgish is. The Limburgish Wikisource (Wikibrónne/Wikibrön) goes like a train. --OosWesThoesBes 18:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

It looks like there is no interest at all for this proposal. No reasons for wanting this project and/or links have been provided by the user making the proposal. Siebrand 11:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I also think there is no interest. At oldwikisource there are just 3 texts since months (years?) ago. More texts of this extraordinary language should be uploaded first there, please. I want more euskera free texts! -Aleator (talk) 21:20, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
You have to find more people willing to help. (Red4tribe)
