English wikipedia has 2.9 million articles and far more words and can still have things added to it by teenagers. And it's not just different inclusion standards. For example [[Langstone]] meets any reasonable inclusion standards. De does not have an article. [[Ordnance Survey]] is clearly notable. No article on De. -- geni _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
