Oppose. A fictional language is not adequate for writing non-fictional literature (an encyclopedia). Arbeo 16:52, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Al Bhed is merely a 1-to-1 code for English (similar in many ways to Pig Latin). Of course, that could be an advantage too: all you need to do is to run the entire content of wikipedia.en through a program that changes each character into its corresponding Al Bhed character, and voilà, you have an Al Bhed Wikipedia with over one million articles! But who is going to do that, and more importantly, who is waiting for it? --IJzeren Jan 12:53, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Is unfair, and unnaceptable. --Taichi - (あ！) 22:25, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
