I see your point. On the other hand, what we have are minimum requirements for approval. They're not requirements which immediately mandate the launching of a new wiki. The problem I see is that, from my experience, only sustained activity on Incubator is a guarantee that a new wiki will also stay active. Here, one user is doing the vast majority of edits, and there are 2-3 others who are also active. This is ok, but personally for such "low numbers" I would like to see a longer period of sustained activity on Incubator first. Giving article numbers is not helpful because it creates the impression "we'll just do that and then stop". On the other hand, it is a good indicator if the number of articles is rising. I'm not in principle opposed to approving a wiki which has "only" 200 or 300 articles. Maybe others can also give their opinion/impression.

Truthfully, I'm not, either. But the "problem", if you will, is that they have five consecutive months of sufficient activity, they've added to the interface translation, and at least a decent fraction of pages have real content. In short, they've done everything we ask according to the rules as written. They feel they've earned this approval. So as things stand now, it feels to them like we're just being arbitrary; they have no idea what they're working toward. And I don't really want to lose them over what looks to be an arbitrary decision on our part.
To this point, I told them that I'd come back to LangCom when there are 200 main space pages, but even at that I don't know if you think that's "enough". For the record, as of today, the smallest Wikivoyage other than Hindi is Ukrainian, with 638 pages. So maybe half of that (~300) is a reasonable target.

I am not really a fan of that. To me the most important thing is continuous activity.

MF-W (or anyone else): Can I provide the Pashto Wikivoyage community with a target? Remember: there is no "minimum project size" formally
stated
in the policy. And that community has done absolutely everything we have asked of it.
