I think you're probably right that a new departure
needs to be made:
we're at best mediocre at devising new "recognition mechanisms". How
about a project aimed (since we are coming up to three million articles)
at shifting the balance of stubs and other really substandard articles
before we get to four million? We'll get to the end of the first decade
of WP in 2011 before that happens. And I think we need some kind of
two-dimensional plot, not single scale: urgency assessment as well as
quality assessment.
I fear the first thing that would spring to the community's beautiful
collective mind would be a mass deletion of all stubs.
