I see your point. On the other hand, what we have are minimum requirements for approval. They're not requirements which immediately mandate the launching of a new wiki. The problem I see is that, from my experience, only sustained activity on Incubator is a guarantee that a new wiki will also stay active. Here, one user is doing the vast majority of edits, and there are 2-3 others who are also active. This is ok, but personally for such "low numbers" I would like to see a longer period of sustained activity on Incubator first. Giving article numbers is not helpful because it creates the impression "we'll just do that and then stop". On the other hand, it is a good indicator if the number of articles is rising. I'm not in principle opposed to approving a wiki which has "only" 200 or 300 articles. Maybe others can also give their opinion/impression.
