A long, long time in my opinion. It is more likely that the knee-jerk reaction at Wikipedia will be to simply delete all questionable articles, rather than correct them, sigh...
Take for example the article about a American company that is in the news all the time: Realtytrac. For some reason an article about this company was deleted in 2007, and only revived quite recently. Anyone can easily check this by looking at this article's history:

Wikipedia is a community.
There are guidelines about quality and content. Deleting an article one day, can re-appear the next simply by the fact that the article / content is appropriate and correct.
