Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Istriot<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Istriot>: Currently on hold. There are a few pages on Incubator, but nothing added in several years. Propose to reject as stale, without prejudice for a new request if a community comes back to work on a project.
Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Teochew<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Teochew>: Currently on hold due to no ISO code. Code was rejected at SIL in 2009. At the time, SIL expressed some sympathy for the idea of retiring "nan" and splitting it. But as the code request did not cover the full breadth of "nan", the request was rejected. There has been no recurrent request, to the best of my knowledge. Suggest reject per policy, with an invitation to create a new request if a code is ever created. Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Unserdeutsch 2<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Unserdeutsch_2>: About 100 L1 speakers left, mostly living in Australia. No test project, and no evidence of native speakers. If this were a new request, I'd probably mark as "on hold". As it is, we should probably reject as stale, without prejudice for a new request if a community comes back to work on a project. Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Pandan Bikol (Northern Catanduanes Bikol)<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pandan_Bikol>: About 78,000 speakers. No evidence of any native speakers present since request was made. Also member of a macrolanguage (Bikol): bik. Within macrolanguage, existing Wikipedia for Central Bikol (bcl), fairly developed test projects for Miraya Bikol (Wp/rbl) and Rinconada Bikol (Wp/bto), though no substantive additions since 2015. This language's test has a single page that might not even be in the language. Should probably reject this as stale, without prejudice for a new request. Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Simple Hebrew<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Simple_Hebrew>: Reject: (a) If a project like this is ever to exist, current policy is that it must incubate at the corresponding project, in this case Hebrew Wikipedia. (b) If such an incubation wants to get out of the base project, that can only happen if the project (or namespace) uses an externally defined simple version of the language, and I'm not aware that one even exists in Hebrew.
