The English Wikipedia has 1,294 administrators who can delete and protect
pages, but these are definitely not paid, nor are they fulltime unless they
choose to be. They are entirely volunteer, and are simply regular editors who
have proven to be reliable and active. The English Wikipedia in general has
28,922,038 users and 5,234,360 articles.
Note that this means there are roughly 4000 articles per admin.
I really do not think approval processes are going to solve more problems than
they cause. As was pointed out, approval processes are largely what sunk
Nupedia. Although calling it "Nupedia" likely didn't help either. :-)
