Yes, agreed. Though the question here is different, it is about whether the test-project as it currently is is in a state that is appropriate for approval.

(Late reply, sorry.)
While I may have doubts about the merits of Wikiversity myself, I don't think it's within the scope of the Language Committee to deny the creation of projects based on those merits. We should only focus on whether the community for the relevant language edition of a project is healthy enough for it to become a separate project, without consideration for the individual committee members' feelings about the project as a whole.

Hoi, Yes, that is the politically correct answer. The question asked by several is what is Wikiversity good for. Is it actually used? Thanks, GerardM

I do think that the community will improve content as the time progresses. The community has been working hard on translation as well.
But I do see some pages which are not written well and contain machine translations. Such as

I also now see that the email address is in fact yours. I am not sure
that
there is any precedent elsewhere for such byline templates on other Wikimedia projects.
