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?
A7 but bot assisted mass prodding and deletion would probably get a higher through put.
Now I understand: the way of measuring the success of deletion processes is on the gross number of articles deleted. It's like putting traffic cops on a quota system.
Depends on how may articles you have to deal with. Up to about 10 million keeping the error rate low is the driving force. Beyond that as the inability to maintain kicks in the balance should be expected to shift somewhat.
For example at the present time a fairly significant case could be made that we should be more ready to delete articles on "universities" since it would appear that our ability to maintain such articles in a state where they are not actively misleading is being surpassed by the shear number of the darn things.
