This is a proposal for closing and/or deleting a wiki hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is subject to the current closing projects policy.


The proposal is accepted and the proposed actions should be taken.

  • A Language Committee member provided the following comment:
    I have proposed closure to the Board after Langcom considered this proposal. Inactivity in itself is no valid reason for closure, but regarding the content, it was noted that the vast majority of the 179 main namespace pages are simply about words in several languages, containing nothing but the Zhuang translation of the word, but no definitions, as it should be in a dictionary.
    It is worth noting that Zhuang Wikipedia and Wiktionary are the only projects currently open in the language, although there used to be others, which have been closed before. I assume the za wikis had simply been created a long time ago when someone created wikis for all ISO 639-1 languages or something like that; but there have never been many contributors. --MF-W 18:05, 20 September 2012 (UTC) --- as there were no objections, bugzilla:40614 has been filed. --MF-W 11:27, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Zhuang Wiktionary's activity is very low, the interface is completely in Chinese. Even from many month, this project inactive. According to this list, only bot and steward using it. They don't have any policies and guidelines page (namespace "Wiktionary"). I don't think the current community can keep a Wiktionary, in addition they can't keep Wikiquote, Wikibooks. --minhhuy (talk) 12:49, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
