This language has been verified as eligible. The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page.
Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval and will verify the test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert.
If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.
A committee member provided the following comment:
Eligible with respect to the language Marwari (language code rwr). Other languages within the macrolanguage Marwari (language code mwr) should create separate requests. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 19:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)Reply[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.
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.

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.
The Marwari language (Mārwāṛī; also variously Marvari, Marwadi, Marvadi) is spoken in the Indian state of Rajasthan, Haryana but is also found in the neighboring state of Gujarat and in Eastern Pakistan. With some 13.2 million speakers (as of 1997, ca. 13 million in India and 200,000 in Pakistan) it is the largest language by number of speakers of the Marwari subgroup of the "Rajasthani language" There about 23 dialects of the Marwari Language. It is written with the Mahajani and Devanagari script, as is Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi and Nepali. In Pakistan it is written in the Perso-Arabic script with modifications. Marwari currently has no official status as a language of education and government. There has been a push in the recent past for the national government to recognize this language and give it a scheduled status. The state of Rajasthan recognizes Rajasthani as a language. In Pakistan, there are two varieties of Marwari. They may or may not be close enough to Indian Marwari to be considered the same language. Closely related languages to Marwari in the Rajasthani cluster are: Gojri, Shekhawati, Hadoti, Dhundhari, Mewari, Brij, Bagri, Wagdi, Mewati, and others. There are ongoing efforts to identify and classify this language cluster and the language differences.
Support: As and per nom. As a native speaker, I can assert that Marwari is a widely spoken language and that the community will benefit with such a Wiki. Avenue X at Cicero 12:41, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support: Strongly Support for this rich language. Spoken widely in India and Nepal.Biplab Anand(Talk to me) 07:12, 8 August 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi guys, as langcom discussed, the language that test wiki uses is Indian Marwari with ISO 639-3 code rwr, thus there are no confusion about "Marwari" anymore. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 10:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
