Leave it as it is, take the Arabic out and put it into a new Wiki. That seems to be what the users want. They haven’t said “We want to relabel the languages”. They’ve said they don’t want to mix script content. > When If. > they want to keep Arabic after all, it is no longer an option for them to > deny content in a legitimate script for their language. > > When If. > we agree that this makes sense in the light of our policy, we will inform the > board and give the board two weeks to express their approval. > > We will then put it to the az.wp community and it is for them to come to a > decision they will have to live with.

Add azb.wikipedia.org or az-arab.wikipedia.org for the Arabic-script version, which is used in Iran. 3) As 2) but deprecate az.wikipedia.org for Latin and make them use asj.wikipedia.org. This is a bad idea.
