True. But say in 50 years from now we probably will have the technology to observe even the most distant stars, we will have data and great deal of material. When that happens we will have more articles on stars than on any other topic combined.
I am not suggesting we create five trillion articles in two days, what I am saying is we should be ready for five trillion articles that will be eventually (say in the next 50 years) created and expanded. Whenever a topic gets an impressive amount of coverage, weather its highways or townships or TV episodes, people panic and try to mass remove them to keep them more "manageable". This notion is wrong.
In 5 years wikipedia grew so much, in the next 5 years it will shrink if this redrectifying madness continues as it is.
I picked astronomy for my example as it is an endless source of articles. Any other topic is finite.

Proxima Centauri is near to earth so we can actually study it in some detail. Thus while objectively it might be considered a bog standard red dwarf from the POV of humanity it is very interesting.
