My feelings are similar. Skeptical though I am about the usefulness of
yet another Romance-based international auxiliary language, I see no
reason to oppose the eligibility of it.

On one hand it's another project for a Romance-based international
auxiliary language, more in the vein of Interlingua and Interlingue
than Esperanto. It has an energetic academic as a kind of a "lead
developer", it has quite a few fans, and I even read a whole graphic
novel written in it a few years ago online (it's indeed very easy to
read to somebody who learned another Romance language). But I doubt
that it is actually useful to a lot of people or sustainable if the
leader loses interest.
Because of these doubts in general I even tried to get the English
Wikipedia article about it deleted:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lingua_Franca_Nova
. The article was kept as "no consensus to delete", and I don't plan
to try to delete it again.
I'm not really opposed to a Wikipedia in it, but I have low
expectations and few reasons to believe that it will develop much.
I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

There is a request for Wikipedia in "Lingua Franca Nova", which is
a constructed language with an ISO 639-3 code.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Lingua_Franca_Nova_2
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Lingua_Franca_Nova_2>>
I'm bringing it up because there is currently a very active
contributor on Incubator.
A previous request was rejected in 2008. Of course, the Language
Proposal Policy says:
If the proposal is for an artificial language such as
Esperanto, it must have a reasonable degree of recognition as
determined by discussion (this requirement is being discussed by
the language committee).
What are your opinions about the degree of recognition? Can the
language be eligible or should it be rejected? I have never heard
of this language before, but I am of course only a linguistic layman.
