I would like to get rid of this request as well as most of those listed at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MF-Warburg/ValtteriLahti12#Requests_for_new_languages - by get rid I mean: deletion. Maybe preserve the discussions somewhere else. We can also just mark them as rejected, but I would prefer if such frivolous proposals wouldn't be there if some genuine interest pops up and the first thing the interested people see is "REJECTED". Thoughts?
