Arguments in favour

• Support: per above--Andrijko Z. 16:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
• This language is located in one of the most developed region of Russia (Leningrad Oblast), so I support one more Wikipedia in the language of Russia. --амдф 16:28, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
• Support. This is living language. There are Veps literature, newspaper, TV and radio. And why a lot of constructed languages have got separate Wikipedias, but living Veps language haven't it? Igriks 18:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
• Support. Active wiki and native speakers. Kanzler31 01:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

• Support Master Shadow 12:20, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
• Support per above. --Kaganer 23:04, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

  It has own (written) literature (poet Nikolai Abramov, writer Anatoly Petukhov)

  There are magazines in Veps language, Kodima (in Veps only), Carelia (Veps alongside with Karelian and Finnish) and Kipinä (Veps alongside with Karelian and Finnish)

  Veps is studied in Petrozavodsk State University, Karelian State Academy and Institute of Nordic Peoples as well as in some secondary schools in Karelia and Leningrad Oblast V. Volkov / В. Волков (kneiphof) 19:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
