Although page depth was not really connected with the current trend, Personally, I think page depth is no longer a reliable metric for comparison, here is why I think so.
That happens in all the wikipedias which has an active community. That might also be possible with the the Google translation project.We have users in Tamil Wikipedia who bulk upload 100s of complete articles they wrote offline with just one edit per article.
In general, quality of a wiki article improves as more people work on it. More edits from more number of users means more quality on the wiki article. Otherwise there is no difference between a knol/blogpost and a wiki article. :)Who has mentioned about the depth in the below mail?
"Depths above 300 for Wikipedias below 100 000 articles have been automatically dismissed as irrelevant."
Yes. All wikis has stubs and almost of the articles are created as stub articles.When we focus on number of articles, some end up creating useless stubs. The same should not happen when we focus on edit counts.

Its not just about stubs.

What probably Arjuna meant was that, some of Wikipedias are more welcoming to the creation of stub articles. I am not saying that Malayalam Wikipedia doesn't though...-Tinu Cherian
