You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page. |
Proposal summary |

Please read the handbook for requesters for help using this template correctly. |
Gujarati is widely spoken language of Indo-aryan origin, with people spread all around the world. Gujarati wikipedia is developing fast with active participation of some regular contributors as well as some anonymous contributions. Same applies to Wikisource, there is a wide range of literature (falk songs, stories, literature in PD, etc.) which is being contributed on wikisource. Currently the users contributing there faces a problem of inability to type in Gujarati script, and hence copy/paste material, which is non-searchable due to language support. Hence we request to create subdomain for Gujarati language.
Arguments in favour
- I am very much happy, to see my native language GUJARATI on wiki. Gujarati is the native language of a large number of people. This effort will bring a huge resource to people who only speak Gujarati.By approving this request we can easily work in WIKISOURSE. Shah Hardik
- I strongly support to above request, because GUJARATI is spoken language in my state. We get our education also in GUJARATI language. We have very rich collection in our GUJARATI language. By approving this request we can easily work in WIKISOURSE. સતિષચંદ્ર 04:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

- I strongly support to above request, because GUJARATI is spoken language in my state. We get our education also in GUJARATI language. We have very rich collection in our GUJARATI language. By approving this request we can easily work in WIKISOURSE. I write many Gujarati article at wikisourse. --Ashok modhvadia 10:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- Gujarati language, doubtlessly deserves a domain to maintain its solitary legacy of great poets, writers, historic people and culture. I firmly support the request! મહર્ષિં --Maharshi675 11:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- let the whole world be benefited with the rich literatue of Gujarati language. I support the same. --Sushant savla 05:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- I support above request as a gujju reader of wiki--Dkgohil 07:02, 7 March 2009 (UTC).
- As an admin of Multingual WS, I will help moving pages to a subdomain if it is created. I can read Gujarati. Yann 10:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- I join all the above people in favour of subdomain for Gujarati. Among Indian IT Professionals, Gujaratis are on the second to none. I hope people from IT will also join our hands. Dr. Dinesh Karia(Talk) (contribs) 11:38, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- This is really a great effort publishing gujarati materials, information on the net for global gujarati. I strongly support it. - નિમિત્ત (September 02, 2009)
Arguments against
- There are only 127 pages in oldwikisource:Category:Gujarati. oldwikisource:WS:LANG shows that this is the 12th largest collection in the incubator (Russian is already moved to a separate project; संस्कृत is Sanskrit), so it needs to grow more before it is ready to move to a separate project.

Localisation information
Before a request for a new language is considered, the localisation of the MediaWiki messages and the messages used in extensions used in WMF projects need to be done. Currently 26.82% and 2.27% of the work is done. The best start can be made by localising the most used messages first. Thanks, GerardM 13:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks Gerard for your message. I am sure I, joined by all the others (proposors and seconders of Gujarati subdomain), will be able to carry out the work as soon as possible.
Thanks once again

- There has been some progress in this area. Current numbers are 41.3% for MediaWiki and 6.9% for Wikimedia extensions, but at this rate it would take years to meet the requirements. I hope you guys can rally up some translators, as Ashok modhvadia cannot do it on his own... Cheers! Siebrand 23:11, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
