Both parts of your objection go against current written policy, Gerard.

If you want to start rejecting all Wiktionary projects because you don't
like it and because Wikidata is better (at least according to you), this
must be discussed separately.

And the policy about localization is: "If a Wikimedia project in your
language already exists and these messages have already been translated, we
ask that you show evidence that localisation is continuing to be improved
and maintained at a reasonable pace." There is activity in Shan in
translatewiki, so this is not a problem.

As for myself, I checked the activity and the quality of the pages and both
look fine. I support the approval of this.
