I am badly disappointed at the willingness some french-speaking editors show to delete articles dealing with epilation or swimming suit.
I know this guy very well ;)
I never was against the topic. The day I deleted it (a long time ago for me), it was unintentionnaly. Aoineko reverted it as soon as I told him (15 seconds later) and that's the reason why he was the apparent author of the article, if my memory is clear. I am accountable for that, and that's the only time I did such a thing.

"an '''apple''' is a [[fruit]]"
So, why can this one be acceptable as a stub, but an article on bresilian swimming suit not be ?
There is quite more information in the apple stub.
That is the reason why we use discussion page and mailing list : to come to an agreement. I think and said that the 10K article objective have induced a lower average quality. My opinion is quality is a better way to promote wikipedia than quantity. Being the 1st, 2nd or 10th wikipedia is a weaker motivation than trying to write accurate and well written article.
Given the fact we have time, and no constraint to publish at a given deadline and we claim to be an encyclopedia, where the focus should really be for you : having 10K articles and a lot of craps, or 5K articles with a minimum standard of quality/information?
Anyway Ant, as long as we don't have an agreement, I will not do anything else than complain ;).
