Thank you for the inquiry to clarify "lifespan". Perhaps there is a better term that describes Wikipedia article survival. For example, if a stub is not expanded, it can remain a stub, indefinitely. Yes? Aaron sent over https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Content_persistence, which has been very helpful so far. With that being said, "content that persists" might be a better phrase to describe my interest to determine the length of time a Wikipedia article's content "persists".

I guess I'm having difficulty with language. To me, "lifespan" implies a birth and death. The overwhelming number of Wikipedia articles that survive the review process continue on. So how do you measure a lifespan of articles that are still living? Perhaps you can explain a little bit more.

Thank you for sharing this link. I will take a look. Below is a description of my intent.
Thesis: Wikipedia content can last more than 1 year. Audience: Public relations and brand managers The intent is to prepare an infographic that presents the longevity of Wikipedia articles. Type of article is not of significance. Or should it?
Sincere regards,
Stella

Where could I find data on the lifespan of different types of Wikipedia articles?
What do you mean by "lifespan"? Does http://wikipapers.referata.com /wiki/Revision_history help?
