Support This language is in need to be revive as this language is unique and distinct from Hebrew. If a dead languages like Polabian is being on request for revival as a Wikipedia, and sooner or later as a spoken language again, so must Phoenician languages too. — Lokey3310 10:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Is Phoenician so important? There isn't even an Ancient Greek Wikipedia, so I don't see why we'd need a Phoenician version so badly. You'd better gather a lot of willing contributors and build a flourishing test wiki, then you might (mind: might) change my mind. Steinbach (formerly Caesarion) 10:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
