Closed, as new policy is in place ("all current proposals will be made invalid").

I propose that the Luxembourgish Wiktionary be closed.

This Wiktionary is not viable. It has no real activity in the last months, and the contents of this wiki mostly consist of vandalism and spam. As the Luxembourgish community is currently not interested in any side project because of their wish to concentrate efforts on Wikipedia, this project should be closed for now. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Prince Kassad (talk)

Oppose closure[edit]

  1. Oppose There was some useful activity on 27 april. --OosWesThoesBes 08:10, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I also would like to point to these charts. lb.wikt is now having the first activity in its history and thén you want to close it? That just doesn't make any sense... --OosWesThoesBes 10:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose as the project sees occasional, but useful, minor edits, mostly from anons. I disagree with closing projects as a general rule, unless they are actively harming the WMF (which this isn't - unless we're running low on server space?). That's deleting legitimate knowledge, not creating it like we're supposed to. So what, that the project is not seeing a lot of recent activity? It does have some use, and I don't see a point in denying Luxembourgish Wikipedians/speakers the opportunity to help out expanding it. Tempodivalse [talk] 19:07, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose There are some little new articles, so the project is active: see "Waasser", "water", "un", "pays", etc.
  4. Oppose Let's just help this little project to start and to grow up -- Quentinv57 11:14, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Oppose The project is going on, slowly but sure. -- Les Meloures 19:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Oppose I'd let it growKanzler31 19:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Oppose Some activity is happening. —I-20the highway 21:30, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Oppose per above--Andrijko Z. 18:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Oppose, wiki has activity, please leave small wikis grow slow, dictionaries take years, many many years to be written, also per this statement which applies to this here too., --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 15:57, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Oppose There clearly is activity and this decision is best suspended for say another year or so, to see if the activity continues. There are other sites with less activity that do not get closed, e.g. the Xhosa wikipedia. Jcwf 16:58, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  11. Oppose It can grow. Should they instead send out a bot to make a few thousand stubs? GavinZac 19:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Oppose there are people editing there still. As long as people are willing to contribute knowledge, I see no reason for it be closed.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 21:36, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Oppose, there are recent activities and the project is expanding.Salamat msg 19:03, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Oppose Lets give it a chance, maybe it can maintain its activeness. Vibhijain 10:56, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Oppose Give a chance to a language that's growing. Soued031 22:13, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Strong Oppose - Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch, to give it its proper name) is becoming more widely spoken, turning up on road signs, in schools, and bear in mind the language has its own television station broadcasting pretty much solidly in it, I'd say this is a big no. Leave it to grow and let it be. BarkingFish 22:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
