Here's a question: how many articles are created and deleted within 24 hours?
In early 2007, I did a quick and dirty estimate that about 2400 articles were deleted per day, at a time when the net gain per day was around 1800.
Activity of anons, new registered users, and established editors have all declined (roughly proportionally to each other) since then, so the ratio kept to deleted I would guess is similar. Therefore, by my utterly unscientific calculation, around 1750 newly created articles are deleted each day.
