From the perspective of a bot writer, and who proposed the automatic
creation of a few thousand drafts for missing English Wikipedia articles for registered monuments in Wales (the proposal was resisted), I would rather see auto-creation tools limited to *suggesting* stub articles on user request. A tool which suggested to an editor a missing article and gave them a reliably referenced stub, has the benefits of using available data to boost article creation, attracting newer editors to try article creation, and ensures that a person always remain responsible for edits to the encyclopaedia and can be approached about improvement.
P.S. Gerard, you have made over a third of all the posts in this thread during the day it has run, sometimes overlapping or repeating your earlier points, mostly about Wikidata. Perhaps you could take a moment to consider whether this helps to attract readers, and encourages non-regulars to participate, for slightly technical discussions like this?
Thanks, Fae
