This proposal has been approved. The Board of Trustees and language committee have deemed that there is sufficient grounds and community to create the new language project.

Eligible language. You are encouraged to contribute on incubator:Wp/din. --Millosh (talk) 04:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). 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.

Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads
no
Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons.
If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin"). Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
Dinka is a Nilotic language of South Sudan with about 2.5 million
native speakers. Its speakers need access to material in Wikipedia in
their own language. --1jmyhill (talk) 07:41, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
