I can understand MF's concern. However, I looked at some articles as
well (and got some help through GoogleTranslate), and the content about
travel advice seems to be there, e.g. in
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/ps/%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%BA%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A7%D9%86_%D9%88%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%DB%8D
or
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wy/ps/%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86
(picking two of the four random articles I chose; the other two also had
lots of text). Judging by the translations, some of the content is
pretty weird but that may be more due to machine translation than actual
problems.
We definitely want to encourage the ps:wy contributors to create more
actual travel-related content but approval may be one way of doing so.
While 89 articles is not very much yet, I just checked the statistics of
Wy in other languages. Most have 2-3,000 articles but Hindi, for
example, only has 54
(https://hi.wikivoyage.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B7:Statistics),
yet is a subdomain in its own right. I could live with approving ps:wy.
Fwiw,
Oliver

Hello.
I am against approval at the moment. While the project is currently in
the 4th month where it has >3 active contributors, there are only 89
articles. I just looked at a random selection and many of them don't
have much content. Some consisted mostly of pictures. I don't think
it's appropriate to launch an own subdomain in this state. Therefore I
would prefer to wait for some more time.

2017 has been the most successful year for new projects since
2013. Ten projects have been created, two more are in language
verification, and one more is awaiting the end of a week's formal
notice on Meta.
The last project I am presenting for approval during 2017 is
Pashto Wikivoyage
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikivoyage_Pashto>.
I marked it "eligible" today. In fact, it is ready for approval.
Satdeep Gill had a bit of a look last week, and he seemed to think
the project team was doing good work.
Seven-day clock starts now. Thank you.
Steven
