TheAfar Wikipedia is nearly empty, only visited by spambots. The three articles are bible verses posted by a user who does not speak Afar, thus apparently not a single Afar speaker ever edited there.Ahoerstemeier08:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support closure. No content. Quite a bit of spambot activity and vandalism, and no community to clean it up. --Jorunn00:10, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Does not appear to be a viable project. Move content to Incubator, delete all pages and close database for editing.Siebrand13:13, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support Status quo hasn't changed much, there are still 3 content pages and little editing activity. Remember guys, this can be moved to Incubator and be revived at anytime.Sr1309:49, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Undecided - If "closing" this edition means that it will be put in "incubator" status and actively promoted (or that a group or individuals is actively sought to promote it) then I support; if not I oppose. I just learned of a group that was "documenting the language of Afar ... as a precursor to localizing their IT," but am willing to bet that they are not attuned to the great resource that Wikipedia could be for their efforts. It is wonderful that WMF is promoting Wikipedia Academies for some countries and languages in Africa, but it wouldn't make sense at the same time to leave less active African language Wikipedias to sink or swim on their own. --A12n17:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All pages written in Afar would be imported to Incubator and then the Afar Wikipedia would be locked, so editing will be impossible. If some people are interested to contribute to an Afar Wikipedia, they can edit the pages on Incubator (and create new ones) and make a request to re-open aa.wikipedia.org --MF-W14:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
