I think we should keep it. Lojban already suffers from obscurity. We need all the visibility we can muster. 

I wholeheartedly agree.  It's a good enough resource for beginners and it brings visibility and credence.  Is there any harm in keeping it, and if not how do we go about making an actionable objection to its loss beyond what's otherwise merely an academic discussion on a mailing list?  I don't understand what criteria needs to be met.

Thanks,

As I've already said:

If you think the Lojban Wiktionary should not be deleted, you need to say so /on the page I linked/. Nothing said on this thread reaches the people that have a say in the matter.

The page you've linked to gives reasons to close the project, some are stated as if there are some criteria, most likely derived from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Closing_projects_policy , that could be met to keep it.  I doubt random people adding "ohai, i luvs ur pages, plz keepz xxx" would suffice ;-)
