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 Wikivoyagehttps://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.

Activity looks good and localization looks promising. What can we do to encourage continued translation at translate.wiki? Even Mediawiki core, while being at 72%, is still lacking 1060 items [1].

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.

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... 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.
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...), yet is a subdomain in its own right. I could live with approving ps:wy.

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&a...) 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.

Oh my. Why did we approve that? o.O
