What legitimate purpose to Wikimedia's mission do serve then Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Interlingue, etc. Wiktionaries? You might want to lock all invented languages then. The message You got on tlh.wikt. is unaccaptable. But it should not be a reason for closing that wikt. Please have a look at the statements here http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9164
The reason to reopen it is: It is a _dictionary_ of an invented language. We have other Wiktionaries of that kind. Also, as I could see, there are quite active contributors there, so this wikt. got even bigger than some of the other mentioned invented languages sites not closed.
One can't dismiss all constructed languages out of hand. Esperanto, for one, has an ISO 639 code (1, 2, and 3) and has a signficant level of usage. Several other constructed languages come close to this.
Despite Klingon not being the same in terms of real-world usage, I'm not sure what harm such projects do. If they bring people to Wikimedia who wouldn't otherwise be here, then they are good.
