What they mean is that, even though we just hit 10,000 pages, there are still articles within that group that do not comply with the wiki’s official policies, and so they are liable to be deleted and eventually decrease the page number again.

Good point. I've seen this create-and-delete cycle transpire, which (I think) is why we've never hit 10,000 articles while I've been on the wiki. However, I take our hitting 10K articles to mean that people are creating acceptable articles faster than unacceptable articles are being located and deleted, which (I would hope) implies that the wiki's overall quality is improving.
