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.
