I am very much against such a thing.
All this citation counting and such leads to crappy statistics. For instance the Shanghai University Academic Ranking of World Universities is based (for 60%) on just such a thing and --surprise surprise-- as the citations they check are mostly if not all in the English language, European Universities rank consistently low. It also leads to vanity "Look how many people have cited my node" and that is a sin one should avoid in a Monastery. Finally, a well phrased Super Search will unearth the nodes you are looking for anyway as the linking articles are very likely to deal with the same subject (and if not the link is probably not useful for you). Still, I ++ your node because it shows that you have thought about the well-being of our Monastery and that is good.
