Joekido: Are you really sure you want to list Naruto wiki as an example? Part of the reason they have such a high page count is that they list every single jutsu on a separate page - all 1859 (currently) of them. Some jutsu are used often enough to merit their own page, but all of them? Do you think we should have each of Luffy's Gomu Gomu attacks on a separate page? If you ignore the jutsu pages, they have a similar number of pages to us.

As for Lost... yup, real creative. The bump in their page count comes from the fact that a thousand articles have "theory" subpages. All the ones I randomly clicked on from the list were blank aside from the preload template. And another thousand articles were "gallery" subpages for those same articles, even where it was completely unnecessary (one image).

tl;dr: Quality, not quantity.
