Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy).
The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved.
Check that the project does not already exist (see list).
Ensure the requested language is sufficiently unique that it could not exist on a more general wiki.
Ensure that there are a sufficient number of native editors of that language to merit an edition in that language.
This proposal is on hold:
On hold, awating further comments from the proposer. --MF-W 17:01, 14 July 2020 (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.
instance/subclass (P31/P279) = language, modern language, critically endangered language / Formosan languages
Wikimedia language code (P424) = uun
writing system (P282) =
number of speakers (P1098) = 0
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
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.
@Prosfilaes: This isn't an extinct language anymore, its Language Type had been changed from extinct to living ten years ago. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:46, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia calls it "extinct", and says "The last remaining native speaker of Pazeh proper, Pan Jin-yu,[4] died in 2010 at the age of 96.[1] Before her death, she offered Pazeh classes to about 200 regular students in Puli and a small number of students in Miaoli and Taichung.[5]" Counting it as living doesn't change my fundamental point; it has a couple hundred speakers, and probably fewer than a dozen near-fluent speakers; I doubt one project will escape the Incubator, which makes proposing two at once unreasonable.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:35, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
@Prosfilaes: Please consider reading [1], by a 2015 survey by Taiwanese government, 4 humans are identified as L1 speakers of Pazeh, though, I don't know why Miss Tsai Ying-Wen don't accept to identify the Pazehs as an ethnic group. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 06:53, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Please don't ping me; I follow discussions just fine, and that was hardly anything needing my personal attention.--Prosfilaes (talk) 10:30, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
Comment: Is Pazeh being revived? Paul Jen-kuei Li 李壬癸 had written a sizeable dictionary of Pazeh that remains the main source of Pazeh materials. Of course, there are few modern technological terms in the dictionary, since the dictionary was based on data from a single elderly speaker who is not here anymore. Before we start, the Pazeh community should try to see if localisation can be successfully implemented, since many new terms will need to be coined. Sabon Harshe (talk) 17:19, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
Pazeh is also not SaiSiyat, which has a very successful Wikipedia edition currently running. Sabon Harshe (talk) 17:20, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
