I'm thinking to avoid a proliferation of stubs. We don't need to be a gazetteer. Wikipedia made that mistake over my strenuous objections in its early years, largely to get bragging rights about the "number" of articles it had. Somebody wrote a computer program (aka Rambot?) that generated text of around 40,000 articles from a geographical database. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 10:46, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
