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.
The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics). 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.

"Wikisource talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
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.
Bhojpuri is an Indo-Aryan langauage which is mainly spoken in Indian and Nepal. It is the official langauage of the Jharkhand state of India and one of the National Langauage of Nepal. It is 8th most spoken langauage of India and 3th most Spoken langauage in Nepal. Spoken by more than 50 million people it is one of the biggest langauage of the world and People's Linguistic survey of India claims that it is the fastest developing langauage of the world. Besides India and Nepal it is also spoken in Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Gayana, Suriname and Netherlands. I strongly believe the it deserves it's own Wikisource:--
