For future milestones, announcing a specific article would be nice publicity,
good for that article's development, and an appropriate remembrance of
the event. And of course once you pick the 'millionth' or other article,
you can keep on throwing out it and its successors until you come to
one which is not deleted.
It should however be possible to identify the *hour* in which the
millionth article
was created, no?

This sort of thing can't be known with any accuracy anyway. It's a
matter of estimating when the millionth article will be added, and
taking the first article logged after that time is reached.
