MF: the Simple English wikipedia was approved long before we had
regulations about ISO codes and suchlike (cf.
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaSIMPLE.htm), and we do not
usually "uncharter" active wikis, even if they wouldn't pass our current
requirements (I understand that there are a number of European dialects
with wiki projects which do not have an ISO code of their own).
However, while our regulations stipulate that subsequent wiki projects
are easily granted for languages which already have an active project, I
see the need, as I have written, to not allow that for languages without
ISO code. So: Simple English *wikipedia* can continue but we shouldn't
allow other projects (like the requested wikiversity) for Simple English.
Is that consensus-able? (badly translated from German "konsensfähig")

I am well aware of the recent discussion here about a "subtag" for
Simple English (at which, however, something like "en-x-wpsimple" was
mentioned, not en-simple).
However, that doesn't mean it now has an ISO 639-1 or -3 code as our
policy requires and that also doesn't prejudice Langcom's decision on
the eligibility.

Hoi,
That is just a matter of asking for inclusion in the standard.
Michael is well placed to do so.
Thanks,
Gerard
