Request for a new language edition: Wikisource Neapolitan

submitted verification final decision Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy). The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved. Check that the project does not already exist (see list). Obtain an ISO 639 code Ensure the requested language is sufficiently unique that it could not exist on a more general wiki. Ensure that there are a sufficient number of native editors of that language to merit an edition in that language.

• The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.
• The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).

Proposal

Neapolitan language had an important literary history in the past, so there are a lot of texts that can be insert on this wiki; they can't be hosted on the Italian Wikisource, because Neapolitan is a separate language. Native speakers are about 11 million.

• Sarebbe comodo. Pure la biblioteca. XD Così la lingua napoletana, si fa anche un pò più conoscere.
