Your Wikipedia may be larger than ours, but ours is higher quality. Maybe we should delete the Romanian Wikipedia instead? As you can see, it is clearly substandard -- the only Wikipedia of its size with less bytes per article is the Swedish Wikipedia. No other Wikipedia is as low, until you get down under 7000 articles.

I'm not particularly getting involved in this whole Moldovan argument again, but I think your point above is highly misleading. The Moldovan Wikipedia is not in any way of higher quality than the Romanian Wikipedia, because byte size doesn't reflect this, for two reasons:
1) Nearly all articles on the Moldovan wiki have a corresponding Romanian article of the same or greater length. This is because a significant number of them were transliterated from the Romanian Wikipedia. 2) The grammatical quality of the mo: articles is arguably lower. This is the more subtle aspect of quality, and also includes things like depth of coverage and systemic bias.
So, the Romanian Wikipedia is of a higher functionality than the mo.wiki, and its quality is also higher, because it basically contains all of the info that mo. contains, plus more.
In any case, the argument for closing the mo:wiki was that it is has poor quality articles and is a playground for trolling, not that it particularly has a low article or byte-size count.

Amen ! (I cut the oppinion of Francis Tyers out of a context that hides it).
If only it were possible to get a non-involved party to look at this
for
5 minutes and decide one way or the other. It would save everyone a
hell
of a lot of time. What we need is a knee jerk binding judgement! (of course this is said partly in jest, but we really aren't going to get anywhere by 'discussing' this).
Well, **you** of all are non-involved. And after following this
discussion for a **long** time you ended with the same conclusion: Regardless of what the Moldovan language is or is not, there are no native contributors, and there is one single contributor overall (who actually cannot contribute because he is at level mo-2). Isn't this enough?
