One of the key points that kept being reiterated in the Strategic Planning process was that we have no method for "failing well". For saying - we tried this, and it didn't work (I'm not saying that's the case here, but I'm just using this as an example). The community makes the determination to close a language version, putatively, but in practical terms it's proven difficult to do. Generally it's an RfC on Meta. I think the last major contentious one was the Simple English Wikiquote? Once the decision is made, then it falls to the developers to actually flip the switch or say the magic words, or do whatever it is they do to close the project.
