So sorry you're getting abuse over this Amir, that is really undeserved.
Looking through my archives, there was much more discussion than usual
about the (Northern) Luri Wikipedia when it was proposed for approval. I
think it would be worthwhile for us to try to find independent linguists to
confirm that the language is indeed not the one it is purported to be, and
add that to the proposal for closure.

I don't know where to say this but it seems people
are creating attack
posts in instagram against me, calling me Pan-Persian and "faggot" and etc.
Calling for people to go and write on the page or respond to my tweets
saying they understand the wiki.
Here's an example:

Hey,
This is a notification that I started the discussion of closing Northern
Luri Wikipedia:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_N…
I have asked again from different people, and again I got "we don't
understand this and we can't read it". Mardetanha independently asked too
and he also got the same thing. Funnily enough, some people told me that
they don't speak Luri (they are Kuridish or Lak) and they actually can
understand the wiki which puts us in the similar situation of scowiki but
with no hope that we can fix the wiki.
Now some new users are being created to oppose the closure discussion, it
seems they are at least meatpuppet:

I also got some private messages that I can share with the committee if
needed.
Also I ask the committee to reconsider eligibility of Northern Luri
