... But if the language in the request is *very clearly* eligible, then "waiting" or "stale" should just be changed to "eligible". "Very clearly eligible" means, for example, that it's a language in which there is already another wiki that would be created under the current rules. So ha, yo, and ml are clearly eligible, but ang, nds-nl, or cu require at least a discussion. Any other opinions?
