To add, I believe a new page needs at least a small paragraph (three or four sentences) but does not need to be complete. Something must explain what the page is meant to be about. I've seen many pages, more so with larger franchises that lack editors, that only have an undescriptive sentence and I had no idea if it was relevant or not. There also wasn't enough information provided to know what to add. The idea of quantity over quality really only applies, in my opinion, to communities with a large number of editors, as there's less time the page sits relatively empty. On a wiki like the one I Admin with few editors but is a large franchise, very short articles aren't really seen by editors. Wikis are about getting information to people so many short pages don't offer much.

Many small pages are fine only if they actually say something worth mentioning.
