The convention already is that all entries should be as complete as possible. It's funny, though, because you're essentially resurrecting the comma criterion (only entries with a "," would be counted as an article when doing a count of the number of articles in Wikipedia), which I thought was a good criterion for the English language.
BTW, do you have the stub-link functionality on? It's quite useful.
The stub filter doesn't work for some reason for me.
I don't like the comma rule, because it can be easily (and inadvertantly) worked around. For example, what if someone wrote "in Massachusetts, USA." for the Boston article. Then the rule and subsequently software would consider it a full article. --LittleDan
