Draft decision:

The proposal for closing the Greenlandic Wikipedia is accepted. Despite
Greenlandic being an official language with roughly 60,000 speakers, the
wiki has never developed a viable community: over the last two decades only
one or two Greenlandic users have contributed, and there has been almost no
growth in the last five years. Most articles are short or unintelligible,
and machine-generated content—initially from experimental Greenlandic
machine translators and more recently from AI tools like Google
Translate—has frequently produced nonsense that could misrepresent the
language. The sole active admin, with academic expertise in Greenlandic,
has had to monitor and delete such content, but no sustainable community
exists to safeguard the language. Given the risk of harm to the Greenlandic
language, the seemingly negative attitude towards the project in Greenland,
and the absence of genuine user activity, the project should be closed,
with any remaining content moved to the Incubator for future use.
