:::In case of say kings of "asdf" dynasty, we can place a template that says that the article will be merged with the main article of asdf dynasty in no one expands the article for a certain amount of time and also put up a notice in wikiproject itihaasa abt it. If no one expands the page after the time passes, it can be deleted. Also, we can form teams in related wikiproject (itihaasa in this case) which searches for information such as date of birth and death, important activities etc. and also place a infobox biography on the page. The wikiprojects have been largely defunct, this kind of stimulus will activate them. Thank you.--[[सदस्य:युकेश|युकेश]] १५:५५, २८ मार्च २००७ (UTC)
===The sentimental issue of 10000 articles===
Now I understand that any active team wants to have a lot of articles on their wikipedia. But I strongly believe (as Eukesh mentioned on my talk page) that this is against the spirit of wikipedia. More importantly this is against the attitude that made wikipedia a success. Wikipedia didn't get a million articles because that was their target. They got there because they wrote information in an organized way such that it attracted users. Frankly, I'd feel better about the wikipedia that I am contributing to if it looked like a serious encyclopedia and had accessible content where I could keep clicking on links and would get a mouthful of great information on any click, rather than if the article count said 10000. Its not about that number.
Also, if we put in hundreds of such placeholder articles, we will be discrediting our wikipedia. We will be discrediting all the legitimate work that we have put in it. This reminds me of a joke that one of the bald guys in my family used to say. About a bald guy who everyone called "the bald guy". To get rid of that name, he started wearing a toupee. Now he had two names, The bald guy and The bald guy with a toupee. :).
Its funny, but when you think about it, wikipedia is going to look only as good as the amount of effort we put into it. There is no shorcut. And we don't need no stinking 10000 milestone to make our work worthy or credible!
===About common misspellings===
Dealing with common misspelling is simple. All you need to do is create a redirect to the correct spelling. I.e. instead of having a line that says "blahh is actually blah" just say "#REDIRECT <nowiki>[[blah]]</nowiki>"
