Common core policies should be on Meta, not Incubator.

I think meta is the wrong place, the coreor base line policies should be in the incubator not meta and created as guide at the start of a project then let the project develop their uniqueness, individuality from there. If it gets put on meta it will become a you must do this and only this to the wikilawyers removing all community input into the process. Also for many people they dont follow meta so what will also happen is that these will get changed and the new policy will become via a forced cascade to the communities. I for one could never support any process being created as a means to take away from the community its own solutions

I used Wikipedia as an example, I would not expect core content policy
from
Wikipedia to be a good fit for Wikivoyage. Still Wikivoyage could have common ploicies on Meta the same way Wikipedia would do.

I'd definitely agree there. There are a few non-negotiable points
(NPOV,
copyright and licensing, nonfree content, etc.), but outside those, individual projects generally have latitude to run things as their community needs.
The English Wikivoyage has a "Be fair" policy, which is explicitly different from NPOV [0]. Copyright also varies from wiki to wiki, as
fair
use for non-free content on the English Wikipedia exemplifies [1].
