Arguments in favour [edit]
Georgian is the most pervasive of the South Caucasian languages, a family that also includes Svan and Megrelian and Laz . The Georgian alphabet is traditionally said to have been invented in the 5th century BC and reformed by King Parnavaz I of Iberia in 284 BC. Most modern scholarship puts its origin date at some time in the 5th century AD, when the earliest examples can be found. Generally speaking the most ancient Georgian written book is the Martyrdom of the Holy Queen Shushanik (also translated as The Passion of Saint Shushanik; Georgian: წამებაჲ წმიდისა შუშანიკისი დედოფლისაჲ, C’amebay C’midisa Shushanikisi Dedop’lisay) is the first extant piece of Georgian literature. Purported to have been written between 476 and 483, the earliest surviving manuscript dates from the 10th century. The author is Iakob Tsurtaveli (Jacob of Tsurtavi). --George Mel 14:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- 'Support'Support - The list of Georgian literary and other written works linked above, is not of course full. Georgia has one of the oldest and richest literature in the world. In favour I'll add, that putting full documents in a wikipedia articles became more frequent last time, like this one. That is the matter of demand for such project.

- Strong Support --თოგო (D) 09:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC) Georgian has a long tradition of literature and writing, so there is plenty of texts to digitalize.

- Support -- As a very old language and with a written tradition dating back to the 5th century, Georgian has a very large collection of old texts and is thus a good candidate for its own Wikisource. Malafaya 13:10, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- 'Support'Support -- Undeniably relevant language/project, and from the activity on oldwikisource, there is a thriving community that will make the project a success. Hope the langcom acts swiftly on this one...― Teak 18:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- 'Support'Support It sounds fine to me. I will say it to LangCom. Evertype 14:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- 'Support'Support Sounds like a future great source of information. Too bad the localisation of MediaWiki (72%) and MediaWiki extensions used by Wikimedia (8%) is still pretty bad. How about a translation rally on translatewiki.net and you guys will be able to rock soon in your own Wikisource!? Siebrand 23:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

- More votes aren't needed here.
- It can be safely said at this stage that there's consensus that such project can be created. But for that to actually happen, the localization in translatewiki.net must be completed and there must be real activity in the current Test Wikisource project. --Amir E. Aharoni 09:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Other discussion [edit]
- How long is there left untill the project is created? --Gaeser 17:39, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- Currently 59.99% of messages of extensions used by Wikimedia projects are translated. Those messages should be fully translated before the project would be approved (as well as the first two groups which are currently 100% translated).

Localization update [edit]
- Currently 99.48% of MediaWiki messages and 88.07% of messages from the main extensions used by Wikimedia projects are translated. Those messages must be fully translated before the project would be approved. More details at TranslateWiki. --Amir E. Aharoni 23:00, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
