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:
Seven pages of content, not meaningfully active since 2011. If someone comes to reactivate the project LangCom will reconsider. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2019 (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.
"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.
"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
submit Phabricator task. It will include everything automatically, except additional namespaces/settings. After creating the task, add a link to the comment.

Weak support - Papuan Malay is the lingua franca of West Papua, spoken by approximately 500K people. It is a Malay creole developed from contact between traders, perhaps from old Ambon or Ternate, and Native Papuans. It is different from Standard Indonesian that is used mainly by the transmigrants. Papuan Malay is spoken mainly as L2 by Native Papuans, and is celebrated as part of West Papuan identity. However, I would like to note that there is no standard form of this language, so it will be better if there is a reference (either grammar book or dictionary) that cover this. - User:Masjawad99 (talk) 03:32, 27 October 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose not even a valid language, just because you add malay language to papuan and ambonese language doesn't mean its immediately become new language.--AldnonymousBicara? 13:45, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Aldnonymous: With due respect, it has an ISO 639-3 code, so for our purposes it's a language. Since you are now a sysop at Meta and a global sysop, I strongly and respectfully request that you review LPP, so that you always act within its guidelines, particularly when acting in those capacities. Thank you. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dear @StevenJ81:, this request was wrongly created as "eligible", I'm now reset this, will you recheck this? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 12:11, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi, @Liuxinyu970226: I will, though it may take me a couple of days to get to it due to "real life". I assume you've checked this on the main RFL page to mark as "discussion", right? StevenJ81 (talk) 13:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This has seven pages. Some were created around the request creation in '10, and then there was a brief spurt of activity in '11. That's pretty much it. So I'm closing as stale. LangCom will consider a new request if someone reactivates the test project. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
