A stub is an article which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of the subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information. To qualify as a stub an article must at least define the meaning of the article title. Often that means three to ten short sentences, but less text may be sufficient to qualify as a stub for articles on narrow topics, and complicated topics with more than ten sentences may still be stubs. However, in reality, many articles labeled as stubs are much longer. You can help by removing inappropriate stub notices.
