I repeat: each article, even of only one sentence can be of high value for somebody searching for information ... don't exclude the small
ones,
please and stop counting numbers ... it will help you a lot. We are
not
in competition - we are co-operating projects, that's all there is to
it.
Having just been in the position of having to defend an article that was voted "medium importance for WikiProject Russia" from deletion, I am in total agreement with you. There are too many people following "process" without using their brains...
As an aside, that classification (in general terms) should be taken with a grain of salt - many people/projects, for various reasons, just Don't Use the "low importance" classification in rating articles. So "medium" may well mean "utterly trivial but not entirely irrelevant"...
...and to me 'not entirely irrelevant' means worthy of inclusion.
