I can understand MF's concern. However, I looked
at some articles as well
(and got some help through GoogleTranslate), and the content about travel
advice seems to be there, e.g. in
https://incubator.wikimedia.
org/wiki/Wy/ps/%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%BA%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86_
%D9%88%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8D or
https://incubator.wikimedia.
org/wiki/Wy/ps/%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86 (picking two of the four
random articles I chose; the other two also had lots of text). Judging by
the translations, some of the content is pretty weird but that may be more
due to machine translation than actual problems.
Yes, there are some articles that look OK or even better. But that's only a
part of the 89. And frankly 89 in total since February 2013 (<
https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wy/ps&…)
is not really that much. It wouldn't be too hard to double or triple the
number.
We definitely want to encourage the ps:wy contributors
to create more
actual travel-related content but approval may be one way of doing so.
While 89 articles is not very much yet, I just checked the statistics of Wy
in other languages. Most have 2-3,000 articles but Hindi, for example, only
has 54 (
https://hi.wikivoyage.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%
B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B7:Statistics), yet is a subdomain in its own right. I
could live with approving ps:wy.
Oh my. Why did we approve that? o.O
Fwiw,
Oliver

Hello.
I am against approval at the moment. While the project is currently in the
4th month where it has >3 active contributors, there are only 89 articles.
I just looked at a random selection and many of them don't have much
content. Some consisted mostly of pictures. I don't think it's appropriate
to launch an own subdomain in this state. Therefore I would prefer to wait
for some more time.

2017 has been the most successful year for new
projects since 2013. Ten
projects have been created, two more are in language verification, and one
more is awaiting the end of a week's formal notice on Meta.
The last project I am presenting for approval during 2017 is Pashto
Wikivoyage
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikivoyage_Pashto>.
I marked it "eligible" today. In fact, it is ready for approval. Satdeep
Gill had a bit of a look last week, and he seemed to think the project team
was doing good work.
Seven-day clock starts now. Thank you.
Steven
