But who really cares if these pages exist on Wikipedia? It's not as if you have to even see that they exist, much less actively ignore them.

But who really cares if these pages exist on Wikipedia?

Would it affect the speed of serving up the more desired pages? My heart is with the inclusionists, but would Wikipedia be as easy and as fun to use if its database size were much larger for the same budget?
