> Hallo!
>
> I am going through
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages
> , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one
> email per day.
>
> I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the letter E.
>
> Before I go into proper requests, I should mention that I took the liberty
> to reject
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Eldeine
> , which appeared to be a one-person constructed language without an ISO
> code.
>
> == East Frisian ==
> Request:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_East_Frisian_3
> Code: frs
> My take: I don't have one. The request page is quite confusing. The page
> title says "East Frisian", but the listed code is "frs", which is listed
> "East Frisian Low Saxon" in ISO 639 3 and Ethnologue sites, while the
> English Wikipedia says that the closest thing to just "East Frisian" is
> stq, in which there is a Wikipedia already. In addition, some people in the
> discussion claim that this language is the same as nds, and others say that
> it is distinct. So I cannot propose anything at the moment.

> == Eastern Arrernte ==
> Request:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Eastern_Arrernte
> Code: aer
> My take: Probably *Delete*. The language is probably eligible, but the
> request was created by a blocked user without adding substantial details. I
> would have already deleted the request page for that reason alone if there
> wasn't some content in the Incubator:
> https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/aer/ . That
> content, however, is quite suspect, too: it consists of five pages, all of
> which are very short, and they were mostly edited by an anonymous user. So
> the deletion of the Incubator should be considered, too.
>
> == Eastern Balochi ==
> Request:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Eastern_Balochi
> Code: bgp
> My take: Nothing at the moment, but I am in contact with a promising
> expert, and I hope to have a more substantial update some time this month.
> See the email about the letter B.

> == Edo ==
> Request:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Edo
> Code: bin
> My take: Eligible.
>
> == Ekpeye ==
> Request:
> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ekpeye
> Code: ekp
> My take: Eligible.
