This is not correct. There are a number of two or three line articles that have been \
on the German Wikipedia for at least a year and nobody is planning to delete them. \
According to German WP deletion rules shortness doesn't justify a deletion and \
deletion is only a means of last resort ("letztes Mittel") if other measures fail. If \
it weren't that way, would we have almost 300,000 articles then?
