Isn't this request going against the foundation principles ?

No, many projects have article creation disabled for IP users

Please keep it at normal and not major. Its a normal site request.

Many projects? Other than enwiki (where it has been controversial), zhwiki (due to mass vandalism complaint, 4 years ago), fawiki and idwiki (didn't find a bug for them).

8 people agreeing seems small for this big change, but OTOH it's not a big community.
Have you considered alternative options like flaggedrevs?

This 8 users, who are the only active wikipedians, have made a small community, but they should take care of all the vandalism happens and fixing poor entries, so they can request such a big change. And its a suggestion to help them serve improving wiki not all day long fixing these problems that could easily be handled by preventing ip users to create new pages.
thanks

By "not a big community" I meant "ckb community is not big", not "8 wikipedians is not big".
The statistics show 45 active users on ckb, so thanksfully those eight are not alone.
