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:
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.
"Wikivoyage 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.

Strong Support , Number of contributors from Bengali Wiki community never was a barrier to increase the quantity and quality. I believe, this community is ready to keep this project active. S Shamima Nasrin (talk) 11:36, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Strong support This project needs a shot in the arm. Bringing it out of incubator will serve great purpose. Already there has a spike in enthusiasm and activity in Wy/bn. --Mouryan (talk) 17:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose Bengali Wikivoyage would not be active. Bengali people don't travel a lot. --Doostdar (talk) 14:19, 27 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose That's a pretty dumb reason you're giving, @Doostdar: a better one is that existing projects besides bnwiki are not nearly as active as they ought to be, so opening another one would be near-pointless. Mahir256 (talk) 21:49, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Is there any reason we should put this request under Wikivoyage sublist? All requests that under this sublist are requesting to have Wikitravel or old Wikivoyage contents imported. But there's no Bengali version of Wikitravel. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 02:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have moved the entry out of the Wikivoyage section into the list of regular requests. - dcljr (talk) 00:31, 5 June 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]
