I think this would be a terrible criterion to use for this purpose.
Not every worthwhile subject has sufficient to say about it to make a
FA or even a GA as currently defined.

Ah, there's the rub, as Shakespeare would say. Perhaps B-class would
work as a compromise, but there's got to be some kind of uniform
standard. Otherwise, it's pretty much "Whatever anyone wants to write
about gets written about," and then we're introducing editorial bias.
We should handle inclusion/exclusion the same way as we handle
anything else-look at what the sources say (or don't say, for that
matter).
