Thank you for the inquiry to clarify "lifespan". Perhaps there is a better term that describes Wikipedia article survival. For example, if a stub is not expanded, it can remain a stub, indefinitely. Yes? Aaron sent over https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Content_persistence, which has been very helpful so far. With that being said, "content that persists" might be a better phrase to describe my interest to determine the length of time a Wikipedia article's content "persists".
