Hello, I request the closure of the Dutch Wikinews per this discussion: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Dutch_Wikinews Since there isn't a clear policy the community consensus would be enough on the request for closure page. Best regards, Huib
*** Bug 20323 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Agreed. Please close nl.wikinews.org and move the contents to the Incubator. Thanks in advance, Jeroen
Why does it take that long to close a project? There is a consensus with about 90% support for closure. It is not useful to keep such a project much longer open. If there is no really good reason, I think it should be closed after about two months waiting. [[m:User:Barras]]

Any chance that this request will be executed?
Can someone please handle this request? It's almost six months ago this bug request has been submitted. Thanks in advance doing this. If it's not possible, please inform the community why. Jeroen
Hello, developers out there? Can someone please handle this request and get the other closure requests done as well? It would be very generous if you could get this job taken care of, or at least explain a reason why it takes so long. Thank you. Regards,
Per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects Additional projects to close: Zhuang Wikibooks (za) Kannada Wikibooks (kn) Ndonga Wikipedia (ng) Kazakh Wikiquote (kk) Simple English Wikibooks Thanks.
The Dutch Wikinews, as well as the other projects listed, have been closed. The data is still archived, but is no longer an active and accessible project(s).
There is still one more project to be closed. Simple English Wikiquote, per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Simple_English_Wikiquote_(3)

Bug 21676 has not been resolved yet. The project is still open and the bug request has been left there unattended for more than three months now.
->requesting it be moved to the incubator as project is closed<- see also https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/meta/w/index.php?title=Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Dutch_Wikinews&oldid=1881262 thank you in advance.
Closing this ticket, can't see anything that remains to be done from a site admin.
