I wonder how many of those who advocate an Ancient Greek Wikipedia really speak that language, at least at level -3.
That's not the point. I, for example, advocate for classical languages, but I am Greek-0. The point is: even if there would be one million willing contributors on level 5, they would not be allowed to create the project under the current policy. I don't advocate the creation of projects with (too) few able speakers supporting it, but if there are enough willing contributors they shouldn't be rejected. Therefore I created the page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Slomox/Languages outlining my thoughts on useful prerequisites. It doesn't discriminate against any type of language based on its history, but it still disallows for "useless" projects by defining some exclusion terms (those exclusion terms based on the ability to create a useful resource). Would my rules have been policy, they wouldn't have allowed the creation of the Sater Frisian Wikipedia. Cause my rules advocate for three able speakers active in the test project and according to your numbers there where only two (one M and one 4, but the M user wouldn't count, cause the rules ask for activity too). A Greek Wikipedia too shouldn't be created, until there is a sufficient community of sufficiently able speakers in my opinion. But it at least should be possible and not be outlawed a priori!
