Wikipedia:Stub

The word stub means something that is very short. On Wikipedia, a stub is a short article. When writers begin a new article, they use the word stub to mean that it is still very short and that people can add a lot more useful information to it. Generally, articles with less than 1500 characters of text are called stubs here. If a stub has little verifiable information, or if its subject has no apparent notability, it may be deleted or be merged into another relevant article.
