Arguments in favour

  • Good idea. In wikisource, yes, there aren only 3 pages, but in the new basque wikisource there are going more.--Bengoa (My user talk) 18:25, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think Basque (Euskara) can easy handle this. You could compare Basque with Limburgish. Basque might have got half a million speakers less, it's more a writing language than Limburgish is. The Limburgish Wikisource (Wikibrónne/Wikibrön) goes like a train. --OosWesThoesBes 18:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lots of Basque clasic writers texts are now of public domain. It is very important to have a proper wiki site to keep, maintain and share all this cultural heritage, which is more important than most people think.--Janfri 07:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
