Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Enets

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been rejected. While this request has technically been rejected, in reality this is a request that has been sitting open or on hold for a long time with little evidence of a community coming together to build a project. If a community comes together in the future and makes a new request, LangCom would consider that new request without prejudice. A committee member provided the following comment: ~~The project will be reconsidered after native speakers express wish to participate. --Millosh (talk) 11:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)~~[reply] Although this test has a non-trivial amount of content, there has been no activity since the project was placed on hold, and no evidence that there is a community interested in editing. Closing as stale, with the test remaining open at Incubator. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 16:20, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.
The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:

What	Value	Example / Explanation

Proposal
Language code	enf (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Enets	Language name in English
Language name	Онэй база	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item	Q29942 - item has currently the following values: English label: Enets native label (P1705): instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language / Enets-Nenets Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Cyrillic script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 43	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.
Directionality	no indication	Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	enf.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipedia	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads	yes	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.
Optional settings
Project logo		This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone		"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings		Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

My friends, I hope that Enets Wikipedia will be opened. I understand that it is very hardly to make the Wikipedia in Enets language but I will try. -- incubator:User:Максим, 109.205.252.252 20:24, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- incubator:User:Максим, 109.205.252.252 20:24, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support, not a big deal. Give it some time and chance, and maybe we obtain a good thing. Of course, some people may say that this language is moribund (only 40-50 nat. speakers), but it taught in schools (in at least one school, as I know). In addition, I doubt that anyone will feel good if Enets language will die.--Tamara Ustinova (talk) 15:10, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Consider calling that school and asking for native speakers to join this effort. Then this project will have a chance. Eligibility requisite 4: The proposal has a sufficient number of living native speakers to form a viable community and audience. Without native speakers there can be no Wikipedia. A Wikisource project can be considered, or maybe adding known Enets words to an existing Wiktionary (probably Russian). --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:36, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

oppose. It is a language with only 43 native speakers. Geoalex (talk) 19:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Ridiculous argument, sorry.--Tamara Ustinova (talk) 13:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Certainly it is not. Please consider reading the eligibility requisite #4 described above. Tokvo (talk) 18:25, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I'd like to see at least one native speaker willing to contribute. Max Semenik (talk) 15:49, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
