A sudden influx of 500 million stubs would also *require* far more volunteer effort than we have available. No one has suggested allowing bots to create such stubs, after all.
With semi automated tools it could be done in about 5 years probably less.
I'm sure a policy on semi-automated article generation could be devised within those 5 years. How many people do you think could create this many articles in 5 years, anyway? I certainly don't see it happening with only one person, if that's what you were getting at.
And where can I download this database of 500 million entries? It's kind of interesting that it's out there in the first place.
Incidentally, running 500 million stubs through AFD would also require far more volunteer effort than is available.
So? there are two other far more effective deletion methods available.
To delete an article on a dead person based on a reliable source? Is there a CSD criterion for that? Or are you suggesting one be added (in which case one could be added for semi-automated article generation of articles on dead people).
