Hi,
Are there any easy to see statistics about the survival rate of
newly-created pages in Wikipedias in different languages?
I need this for understanding the success of ContentTranslation, which is
primarily an article creation tool
I couldn't find something like this in
stats.wikimedia.org. It does have
the number of created pages per day. For en.wikipedia, for example, it's
about 800. But how many are deleted the same day ("speedy")? Knowing that
alone would be very useful, and there are other possible questions, such
as: How many are deleted within a week or a month? What is the age
distribution of the articles that are deleted every day - how many of them
were created the same day, how many were created a year ago, and so on.
Using a simple (and possibly wrong - I don't do this often) query,[1] I
found that around 500 or 600 deletions happen each day in the English
Wikipedia. Does this sound sensible? Is there a better query that I could
run, or a dashboard where I could see such a thing conveniently? And of
course, I'd love to see it for all languages and not just English.
Thanks for any help!

group by ar_title ORDER BY NULL;
