Regretfully I don't have that stat.  I'd be interested in digging into this with you though.  Could you write up a brief description of a Research Idea here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Labs2/Ideas and ping me?

Thanks, Aaron, that is very helpful!

Do you also have data sets for number of still-extant non-redirect
articles created for the good-faith and golden users?

I can figure that out from the API, but I'm busy. Also, I have
previously hypothesized that creating an article is strongly
correlated with survival of desirable newcomers, and you probably have
people working for you who have no preconceived notions on the
question, or if you don't you can find them.

Best regards,
