Wiktionary:Votes/2021-02/Moving Interlingue entries to the Appendix

Moving Interlingue entries to the Appendix
Voting on: Moving all Interlingue (Occidental) entries from mainspace to Appendix space, e.g. poliedre to Appendix:Interlingue/poliedre. All Interlingue translations in mainspace would also be removed, but Interlingue could still be linked to in other contexts. Interlingue would also be moved from the “excluded except” list to the “should have lexicons in the Appendix namespace” list at WT:CFI. Note: Interlingue is not to be confused with Interlingua, which is a separate language unaffected by this vote.

Rationale: Interlingue was devised by Edgar de Wahl in 1922, and saw some success (a regular magazine and a few books) in the 1930s, but was derailed by World War Two and supplanted by Interlingua in 1951, leading to a loss of most of its users. A language which flourished only for a couple decades and is now used by a handful of enthusiasts does not seem to merit inclusion in mainspace. Furthermore, under the new CFI for appendix-only constructed languages, Interlingue entries would have a good chance of surviving if they get sent to RFV, whereas they would likely almost all be deleted under mainspace rules.

Support

 * 1) . For anyone who's curious, this is the last vote I intend to create on moving constructed languages to the appendix; the remaining languages on the list have my support to stay in mainspace. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:02, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1)  I think that entries of all auxlangs that have an ISO 639-3 code should be allowed in Mainspace. Reason: Such auxlangs have the potential to establish their own Wiktionaries (some already have, including Interlingue). Moving the entries to Appendix would affect interwiki links. For example, poliedre would lose the potential to be linked to the Interlingue Wiktionary, on which poliedre is obviously a legitimate Mainspace entry. This would make our site less user friendly.

 * Comment: There are technical means for enabling interwiki links that could resolve this issue. I don't think this should be considered a blocker.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │Tala við mig 18:15, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
