Why don't you take a look in the list archives.
Now I would like to pose my question in a casuist way: Could requests for wikipedias in Zeelandic and Town Frisian be granted.
If you could organize an active crowd of serious contributors, and have them write the first 3000 articles offline, and good articles, I think the Wikimedia board would find it very hard to refuse your request. So the answer would be "yes", such requests could be granted. And the new Town Frisian Wikipedia would be just past the Icelandic, which now has 2500 articles. But if you want to start a Wikipedia that never gets beyond 20 articles, you would instead find it very hard to convince the Wikimedia board. So the limit is somewhere in between. How strong are your arguments?
