There is not consensus of the community, but does somebody pass if

This issue was discussed a number of times here. As some changes has
happened, you should know that.
Requests for Wikisource in Ancient Greek and Coptic have became
eligible, as well as request for Ancient Greek Wikiquote.
Thanks for your reply.
It seems to me that in past debate there were two separate issues:

automatic translator bots
Yes they deserve, but there are no editors to write the articles.
Forget about autotranslators. They are not able to translate anything
except of giving the idea what a text is about.
