Perhaps all we need is more admins deleting namespace crud. I delete on sight 99% of anything that is only text. Even if it's in another language. A lot of them look like misplaced articles or promo bios.
Guilty as charged (the not-deleting part, not the promo-bio part). I guess I just assumed nobody was creating nonsense pages, silly me. How many are we talking about?
Proper galleries have at least one image, and not a whole lot of text in any single language. Seems like you could have a bot detect excessive text and mark those for further review, and have a manually-added "yes this gallery has a good reason for large amounts of text". Seems like you'd want this no matter the namespaces, people are always going to be tempted to use commons to park text that has been rejected from other projects.
