Doesn't sound like a meaningful way to describe it (and I know you're  
quoting, i.e. that its not you stating that).
 
I'd think it would be "Wikipedia minus what quANtity control it manages to  
have".
That is, its Wikipedia without Notability, without Self, without COI, maybe  
without OR as well.
 
Personally I have no idea why we care that Porn stars must be in at least  
six films or whatever it is, before they can have an article.  Why not have  an 
article on every single walk-on character from the television show  Bewitched? 
 Why should we care about stubbiness?  I've never really  understood that, 
but hey, I don't have to agree with every policy and guideline  in order to 
abide by them.
