Discussion on: Is it okay to have an article without no content?

We had a discussion about this here:

@entrptaher had the same thought, and it's something we want to address. I've been quite busy the last few weeks with a variety of things, so I haven't been able to give my full attention to some of these details for follow up on everything. But @rhymes and @itsasine and others in the previous thread had good points, and we'll give this some thought.

One separate thing: I think it makes sense to have #meta at the bottom of the home page sidebar to encourage more of these discussions and help people keep up with them. What are folks' thoughts on that? I think it could hasten these improvements.

I think the sidebar idea makes total sense.

That's the case when an article has no content at all. I am talking about articles that has 1-2 sentence and a link to the original publication that has the rest of the article. That looks like an ad to me, to be honest.
