Its not just about stubs.
We have users in Tamil Wikipedia who bulk upload 100s of complete
articles they wrote offline with just one edit per article. One
great article can be uploaded in one click and one mediocre
article can have 100s of edits.
According to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias
"Depths above 300 for Wikipedias below 100 000
articles have been automatically dismissed as irrelevant."
When we focus on number of articles, some
end up creating useless stubs. The same should not happen when
we focus on edit counts.

This may be nothing related to original thread. Sorry. Malayalam
wikipedia has its strength and its weakness.
