Hoi,
With all respect, it is an old example and there are later bots who created
more articles. Also with Wikidata it is becoming increasingly easy NOT to
create the data in the Wikipedia as a stub but to produce a template with
well formatted data that will even expand as more data becomes available.
Thanks,
GerardM
