My point was regarding the usage of bots to scrape that content and adding it to a specific Wikipedia in an attempt to boost the article count, as has been happening on certain Wikipedias. The article that you linked to was created by an actual user.
For example, there were tens of thousands of articles created by bots on the Dutch Wikipedia, within a day, around the time when it was about to surpass the German Wikipedia. I don't consider that to be something appropriate for an encyclopedia. It's really difficult to find any alternative explanation for such acts, other than "we wanted to be ahead of that other Wikipedia in article count".
>and there is no limit to the amount of content.
WP:Stub would make it seem that it's at least not endorsed and that there's an expectation of having such articles expanded. But these don't get marked as stub, because there's no expectation of them having more content, just a mere increase on the article counter.
