IMHO it is difficult to decide: 1.if the criteria is the number of articles an user can be use a bot and increase this number; 2.if the criteria is the number of users this limit can be avoid with a large number of sockpuppets.
In any case cannot be defined a special rule to define the removal of a Wikipedia because in italian, for example, we have used a program of affiliation of minor languages to help them.
In my opinion should be defined a mixed criteria (articles+users) but the removal can only be done after a new votation.

then, I suppose you would rather support the idea of letting new languages develop on a seed wiki... and see to which point it is viable
?
This still raise the issue of "when do we consider a language should be
removed from the seed wiki and put in the live wiki" (even though the entire content might be a hoax :-)) ?
