Arguments against

• A very low number of pages on oldwikisource: one author, and 7 works. John Vandenberg 11:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Why the rush? the test-project has just started and it is growing as we speak --Cradel 19:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

If it grows, I will support. John Vandenberg 01:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

So will I. Growing stoped on july. Texts: oldwikisource:Category:Albanian. -Aleator (talk) 13:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

There has been some more growth which is good to see. oldwikisource:Wikisource:Languages says there are now 67 Albanian language pages. On another Wikisource project proposal I think I suggested 100 distinct works as a threshold for launching a new subdomain. w:Albanian literature appears to be a good list of works that should be included.

Other discussion

• Hi john, guys. There is a huge amount of text sitting in albania and kosovo to import here. lets get this started. Mdupont 07:39, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I started this wikisource:Wikisource:Autorët need to start collecting.Mdupont 07:53, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Guys, the first step should be to learn something about the copyright, as you know quite well. The Albanian copyright law says, the texts are protected 70 years after the death of the author. We had this discussion in the past, indeed. So, please go and controll the mentioned page first (the proper link is oldwikisource:Wikisource:Autorët). Regards, -jkb- 19:54, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

HELLOO!!! I found a huge new source of documents, OSCE, UNMIK, Ombudsperson and the parliament of Kosovo, they are producing enormous amounts of documents in albanian, and they should be fair game. Mdupont 19:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I have done the research on copyright and have reported on it here : http://undeletewikipedia.blogspot.com/2010/12/wikisource-for-albanian-language-and.html Mdupont 12:07, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
