These criteria do not address the quality of the article. How about a "not counted as an article" category for stub articles of all kinds, whether generated by bot or human, to be removed when the article reaches a reasonable standard of usefulness?

Maybe better when the human generated content is greater than the one originally added by the bot. Otherwise I can imagine someone adding one comma to each article just to make it show up in the stats...

Sorry. Just a clarification. I hope you mean bot-generated articles are to be excluded in the tally only as long as they remain non-humanly edited. I see no point in indefinitely excluding some articles from a global tally, as all articles regardless of creation are bound to change content and style over time.

I am not in the opposition of the use of the bots, if these bots will
have their place and the articles generated by bots are considered like *populated templates* and not like articles.
I think that a solution like this (the pages generated by bots are not included in the sum of articles), may be a really good compromise.
Interesting idea. I'd be willing to accept an article counting first when non-bots have been involved. However, it's up to the local community (and those able to change the arcticle counting mechanism).
