So... which developer actually created these? te.ws was approved with just two supporters, if that archive page is correct. There are other similarly lowlyy-supported requests.
I mean the dev's must feel a bit damned-if-they-do, damned-if-they-don't, no creations for so long and people complain, then a whole bunch and people still complain.... but I'm sure there's *some* kind of standard minimum requirement, right?
If there is, it's on the side of the developers (or similar powers-that-be). I'm not aware of any official Wikisource policy that dictates when a new language has enough support.
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Language_domain_requests/Rules_for_vot...
In order to start a new language edition, requests for that language must meet one of the following three criteria:
1. At least one experienced contributor at wikisource.org. An experienced contributor is someone who has been a logged-in user at wikisource.org for at least two months, with at least 250 Wikisource edits.
2. At least two experienced contributors at other Wikimedia projects in the specified language. In other words, two different users, each of whom has been logged-in for at least two months at a Wikimedia project (other than Wikisource) in the language that they have requested and made at least 250 edits in that project.
3. If there are insufficient experienced contributors, then a language request will be honored if it has at least three votes from active contributors in that language. An active contributor will be defined as someone who has been a logged-in user for one month at a Wikimedia project in the specified language, with at least 100 edits .
