I remember this claim being made when we had 2 million articles, and again when we had 3 million, and again now that we have 4 million. It wasn't correct then, and it isn't correct now -- there are millions of perfectly "basic" articles that still need to be written. Consider, for example, article number 4 million: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izbat_Al_Burj. It's a city of some 70,000 people -- is anyone really going to claim that this is a "specialized" topic?
