* Improves Accessibility for cognitively challenged and young people --[[User:PeterTheOne|PeterTheOne]] 21:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
* '''In Favor''' : German should have a Simple version to enable foreigners to learn simple German. [[Special:Contributions/59.177.72.105|59.177.72.105]] 15:00, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
* Simplicity can be a very powerful instrument of democatization und liberty as long it is used for liberal purposes, germany can still use a lot of this. Simple german wouldn't abolish normal or differentiated german, but be a more open door / bridge to the west / the world--[[User:Antarctica365|Antarctica365]] 21:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

* language is for understanding, not for hiding; even if you have some foes of freedom on your back--[[User:Antarctica365|Antarctica365]] 21:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

* 'Simple German' does not exist, even if some people wish for it very hard, best regards, --[[User:Spacebirdy|birdy <small>geimfyglið</small>]] [[User_talk:Spacebirdy|<sub>(:>&nbsp;)=|</sub>]] [[commons:User:Spacebirdy/Myndir|<small>∇</small>]] 00:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
* better add an article level to wikipedia as suggested [[General requests#Article_level|here]]. This way a request for simple French and simple Spanish can also be prevented
* Please don't resubmit old requests without addressing the issues that led to their rejection, in this case, that a language "Simple German" ''does not exist''. This proposal will be rejected.
* Creating something called "Simple German" for Wikipedia would be original research. If you really want to have a Wikipedia in this language,
