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.
A committee member provided the following comment:
Congratulations! Phabricator is phab:T206777. Please be patient; there are two projects ahead of this in line. In the meanwhile, please continue to contribute at Incubator. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 17:08, 11 October 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.
"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads
admin
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.
SupportSupport : Native speakers of Shan have the competency and willingness to contribute to this project in the long-term. Hence the Shan language deserves to be given the opportunity and priviledge to have its own language edition of Wikipedia along with the existing Tai-Kadai languages such as Thai and Lao. --Jose77 21:29, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
SupportSupport : Shan Language had it's own stand for centuries. With enough articles and efforts, Shan Wikipedia is a must. Lionslayer 04:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]
SupportSupport : Shan wikipedia is very important for Shan speakers. Many Shans have been using wikipedias that usually are not in their native tongues such as Thai and Burmese. Now I believe it's time they had a wikipedia where they can fully understand its content, and contribute to their community.Alifshinobi 03:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SupportSupport : There are a number of different Tai / Shan groups; by having a common usage and online reference tool using the most basic and simple language of Tai (Tai long) script would help bring us all Tais / Shans into one and it's time to do so. Help us develop and preserve our language by its maximum use. Thanks. user: HsengMurngHsu 23:40, 26 December 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SupportSupport : I Support for Shan Language as an official language with Wikipedia. There is a large number of Shan language speakers all over Southeast Asian and southern china region. Shan language and Shan alphabet reflect prosperity of Tai people, known as Shan people, in many aspects. I strongly believe that Shan Wikipedia will create the better learning world for Tai people. With Wikipedia, Shan language will always be a part of the largest encycolpedia for all users to experience the wider and more multicultural world. Pluto p (talk) 04:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
