Quite. Applying the same logic to the FritzpollBot articles as was/is being
applied to episodes & characters, it's only a matter of time before
individual articles will be moved and redicrected to hundreds of thousands
of articles like [[List of cities, towns and villages in Badakhshan
Province]], which will then be further reduced to [[List of provinces in
Afghanistan]] before being nominated for deletion. :)

It'd be funny it it weren't so sad.
