The convention already is that all entries should be
as complete as
possible. It's funny, though, because you're
essentially resurrecting the
comma criterion (only entries with a "," would be
counted as an article when
doing a count of the number of articles in
Wikipedia), which I thought was a
good criterion for the English language.
BTW, do you have the stub-link functionality on?
It's quite useful.
The stub filter doesn't work for some reason for me.
I don't like the comma rule, because it can be easily
(and inadvertantly) worked around. For example, what
if someone wrote "in Massachusetts, USA." for the
Boston article. Then the rule and subsequently
software would consider it a full article.
