Arguments in favour

Support: per above--Andrijko Z. 16:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Support. Active wiki and native speakers. Kanzler31 01:43, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, of course. (I'm agree with arguments of other users). --VAP+VYK 19:22, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Veps is small, but surpisingly livable language
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)[reply]

Support Despite the fact this language is native for as few as 6000 people, there seems to be enough active contributors, plus many high-quality articles have been created in Incubator level. --Wisconsus 20:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
