Most of these Wikipedias were requested by people who had the notion "I have heard of this language. There is no Wikipedia in it. It should be created." but were never followed up after their creation.
That's perfectly right. And that's why I think that some native speakers
should
express their interest in starting their edition of wikipedia before we
do anything.
What are you talking about? Wikipedia has now exactly that mechanism for starting new Wikipedias: 5 speakers of language must express their interest, then the application is discussed in this list during a month or more -- and only after that test the new language appears.

AFAIK, this is just the *proposed* policy for new wikipedias, not the current one.
