Most often, stubs are not meant to be considered as complete articles, but are used as placeholders to target areas of interest that should be or are planned to be covered in depth at a later point. A common case of this is when an editor begins an article but realizes that more research (e.g., reviewing an episode of the show, checking a reference book) is required and the completion is temporarily put on hold.

abstract
| - Most often, stubs are not meant to be considered as complete articles, but are used as placeholders to target areas of interest that should be or are planned to be covered in depth at a later point. A common case of this is when an editor begins an article but realizes that more research (e.g., reviewing an episode of the show, checking a reference book) is required and the completion is temporarily put on hold. However, stubs that are never expanded may be nominated for deletion because they tend to be of little use to the reader. Good faith should be given that a new stub has been created with the intention of becoming a full, well-sourced article in the near future. You should have a plan to return to work on any stub articles that you create and not rely on others to expand the article for you, although this may occur. Before you create a stub article, you should consider whether the stub is useful even while existing as a stub. Too little information about a topic can lead a reader to become frustrated, wondering whether having a stub with little to no relevant or valuable information is any better than having no article on the topic at all.
