The problem is that to do that, I need to be able to write a press release in the target language.
I cannot, for example, write an article on Wikipedia in Manx.
I did however get a positive response from Brian Stowell (prominent Mec Vannin activist) that gave me the impression he and/or other Manx ultranationalists will soon turn gv: from dead to not-dead.

I've not had much luck with trying to advertise Wikipedias. I have generated almost 0 response. My only real successes in this realm are scn:, fo:, and lb:, fo: and lb: having been pitched to existing Wikipedians.
Did you try local newspapers which are published in these langauges? Best would be to have an article (public domain is best for press releases) and visit the editorial staff. Make the press release a bit visionary, like "only (modern) encyclopedia in language XXX)" or "wikipedia XXX can be used by anyone to print it on paper".
