I know that this would never go on 'officially' for Wikipedia, but

if I assembled a Wikipedia on one of my servers for my conlang, Dasprach, and it had substantial amounts of information (better than most of the 'real' Wikipedias), do you think it would be allowed for me to move my user-page for Dasprach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Antman/Dasprach) (an improved version) to the main namespace?

Whether you write or lot or not about it doesn't matter: the chief issue here is notability. Many people run Wikis on personal servers, and many people have invented conlangs.

To write about your conlang on Wikipedia, this conlang wiki would first have to be notable. A minimal requirement for this, IMO, would be a significant number of users, articles, and links to the site from the Internet at large.

In general, it's probably not a good idea to start a project with the goal of meeting Wikipedia's notability requirements so you can write about it on Wikipedia. It's hard to decide objectively when exactly it's notable enough when you're the one doing the work. I'd say do the project for its own sake, and if it takes off, it'll get written about eventually.
