There is one aspect in this project that is totally missing so far: it has to be checked, whether these small wikipedias really want this mass inclusion. Please do not add such content without consensus. It would just promise an incredibly high article count and once you browse through the wikipedia 95% of you find is template articles. A small wikipedia's team will probably not have the resources of turning 20000 geographical stubs into meaningfull articles and even if it had, it would probably prefer spending their time on other things that are more important than stubs about every village in other countries than their own.
On the other hand, it would provide visitors with excellent opportunities to edit something relevant to themselves: where they live.
Once they got the editing bug, there would then be plenty of articles they could go forth and clean-up.
I'm thinking that a Wikipedia chock-full of geographical stubs is a lot better than one chock-full of pop-culture stubs, which would likely prove totally irrelevant to almost every Wikipedia other than that for the home language.
