News in Greek; fifteen million native speakers of this language could be benefited by such a project. Crazymadlover
Arguments in favour[edit]
- Support. Yes, I believe that we need an Greek version of Wikinews. In addition, there is also a large number of Greek users that can maintain the project.--Consta 12:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Support. Wikinews gonna be supported from many greek users, making a wonderful project. --K sal 15 12:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Support. Many Greek internet authors in general would be attracted to a wiki news project, beside strictly wikipedia users.--Dimorsitanos 21:59, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Support. Τhere was once a "plan" (this one) to have Greece-themed news incorporated in the English Wikinews but it failed very quickly. Crazymadlover's proposal about the opening of a fully independent Βικινέα project seems to be a much better idea, since there certainly exist many Greeks who would like to read free and editable news (especially local news) articles in their native language -- and I am one of them, of course. I have just created the main page of this project and I'll be glad to take care of the purely technical aspects of it, but regarding its content we definitely need a couple of dedicated contributors to get it really started. We could even "recruit" experienced and interested users from the already existing el-projects. Note: Wikinews is the only Wikimedia project so far without a Modern Greek equivalent. --Omnipaedista 05:39, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Arguments against[edit]
- Oppose: Yet there is too little activity (hardly 30 edits). Please make a good test project. --OosWesThoesBes 05:59, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's not an argument to oppose. --Crazymadlover.
- Yes it is. The langcom is not going to accept language without a well-functioning test project. --OosWesThoesBes 04:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- You don't understand. these section of supporting and opposition are refering to the Requisites for eligibility (if it has ISO 639-3, if it is sufficiently unique, etc), if the project is benefitial, etc. --Crazymadlover.
- I've already set up three projects so I know where I'm talking about. ISO code etc are initial requisites. Please also see [1] Criteria for final approval: develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval. --OosWesThoesBes 04:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Well Ooswesthoesbes what I think is that you shouldn't place this argument yet. This proposal has been created less than a month before. Give the project some time. I have set up two projects and I know that this a very important issue but I also know that there hasn't been any proposal that was judged for inactivity with two weeks "life". Please wait for a couple of months and then you have every right to say that we are inactive if we still have 30 edits. In conclusion I think the first month was very successful three people made over 10 edits.--ZaDiak 13:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- I know and I'll surely change my vote when it becomes active :) --OosWesThoesBes 17:50, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
