TIL the Wikipedia language with the second-most articles is Cebuano

They aren't nonsense articles. Those bots create articles about any known species. They usually only include the name, taxonomy, who described it first, and sometimes a description.

I don't think it's a matter of "accepting" but rather it being mostly community maintained, and so languages with minimal communities get no moderation.

To clarify, Lsjbot is/was a deterministic bot that would create stub articles about subjects functionally guaranteed to be notable (by whatever ceb.wiki's standards are, which I think mirror ours on en.wiki). It would add basic information in a template format.

E.g. "Pissus shitticus is an X in the family Y. It was described in 1234 by Some Fucking Guy."

The upside to this is that one of the hardest parts of making a good article is just having the article in the first place. Labor-wise it's not difficult, but it's a psychological thing.

The downside is that, unlike on en.wiki which already has its hands full with a couple million bot-created articles, ceb.wiki could not possibly ever hope to substantially complete 99% of these. So they'll be stuck as shitty stubs that are little more than a verbose database entry for eternity.
