Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Cyrillic Azerbaijani

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page. A committee member provided the following comment: No separate language code. Use a script converter on the existing projects. For LangCom: StevenJ81 (talk) 22:21, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[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.
The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:

What	Value	Example / Explanation

Proposal
Language code	(SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Cyrillic Azerbaijani	Language name in English
Language name	Кирил графикалы Азәрбаjҹан дили	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item	Q64011653 - item has currently the following values: English label: Azerbaijani Cyrillic alphabet native label (P1705): instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): / Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Cyrillic script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098):	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.
Directionality	no indication	Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Википедиyа	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace		usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace		"Wikipedia 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.
Optional settings
Project logo		This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	+UTC 3 (Russia) and +UTC 4 (Azerbaijan)	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings		Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

Cyrillic Azerbaijani is one of the writing styles of the Azerbaijani language, others being Latin and Arabic. Both have Wikipedias of their own (here and here). Cyrillic Azerbaijani is written mostly in Russia, by 1.400.000–3.000.000 people. Apart from that, many Azerbaijanis (mostly older population) have a hard time reading in the Latin alphabet, as the country used Cyrillic from 1939 to 1992. Currently, the Cyrillic Azerbaijani does not have a separate ISO code. --► Sincerely: A¥×aᚢ Zaÿïþzaþ€ ⚔ (hail sithis!)

Discussion

Oppose not different language —47.156.0.180 20:54, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @47.156.0.180:, it doesn't have to be a different language. Like in South Azerbaijani Wikipedia, same language, different writing styles. --► Sincerely: A¥×aᚢ Zaÿïþzaþ€ ⚔ (hail sithis!) 13:10, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - According to SIL and therefore ISO 639-3, that's a different language. Certainly, the decision to create the Wikipedia was done on that basis, and even if it was in error, will not justify creating another Wikipedia in a language already open.--Prosfilaes (talk) 09:12, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Use a Latin-Cyrillic script converter. —47.156.0.180 21:05, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unnecessary. Cyrillic Azerbaijani is only used in Dagestan by some 150.000 Azerbaijanis, not in the whole Russia. Script converter is much better option. --Verman1 (talk) 01:03, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Does anyone have the time and willingness to do this? The technical parts are technical, and the existing Wikipedia community has often objected loudly to the concept. Cf. Romanian and Moldovian (Cyrillic Romanian).--Prosfilaes (talk) 09:12, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Please reject this request and consider a Latin-to-Cyrillic converter on Azerbaijani Wikipedia. --Agusbou2015 (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can be speedy rejected to me. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:48, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
