Hi Wouter,
There are no standards for determining what does and what doesn't get a Wikipedia. If you are told to your face by Jimbo or the board or the community or whatever that You Do Not At This Time Qualify For A Wikipedia, the solution is to start your own off-site "Wikipedia" using a diffferent name, such as Seelterpedia or whatever, and when you reach perhaps 200 articles, bring the issue back and the official position will probably change.
This is the process that happened with zh-min-nan (not sure if they got an outright "you can't have one" message). People will always be willing to reconsider when they see an article base of a reasonable size.
Even if your request is "accepted", often it takes a while before it is actually created (limited developer resources), but that too can often be expidited by showing them that you really are ready to go.
And if there appears to be no consensus, start the off-site test, and then when you reach between 100 and 500 articles, return, bring up that fact, and people will probably reach a consensus

You're right. I am currently doing the same with the Seeltersk wikipedia. But first of all I would like to figure out if such a request has any chance at all.
