I have no opinion on Toki Pona (It is well known I have no problem with
original research on Wikipedia anyway). However, as respects dead languages
which no one speaks, lets say Anglo-Saxon, or especially Native American
languages with very few speakers, I think they are very very good if someone
wants to do them. The only problem I see is having many (and paying for
websites) which don't ever develop into anything.

Concentrate, yes. Ignore the noise, no. We have to draw the line
*somewhere*, and if you do not suggest an alternative to the 10,000
speaker requirement I have to presume that you want to draw it *nowhere*.
The inclusion of Toki Pona sets a highly questionable precedent.
