Stub status[edit source]
I removed the {{stub}} template from the article, then later noticed that stub was still on the article. I thought that I might simply have forgotten to remove it the first time (as I was doing other work with the article at that time), so I removed it again. Only after removing it (for what I thought was the first time) did I realize that SimDestroyer had in fact re-added the stub template after I had initially removed it; I did not intend to revert his revert.
That said, I don't think this article qualifies as a stub. In SimDestroyer's edit summary when he added the stub back on, he said that "There is more to this" in regards to the article. While I agree, I don't think the fact that the article is still missing information qualifies it as a stub. Stub, from what I've generally seen, refers to the article's length more than its content. You could add a template to the article specifying that it is in need of expansion in regards to certain topics, but I think it'd be difficult to say that the article is short enough to be a stub, unless my understanding of what a "stub" is is mistaken. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 17:26, November 18, 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, I've just read up on Wikipedia's take on the meaning of a "stub," and I think their "definition" has a lot of merit:
- There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub. While very short articles are very likely to be stubs, there are some subjects about which very little can be written. Conversely, there are subjects about which a lot could be written, and their articles may still be stubs even if they are a few paragraphs long. As such, it is impossible to state whether an article is a stub based solely on its length, and any decision on the article has to come down to an editor's best judgment.
- The Wikipedia page on Stubs also does say, "Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they have significant problems or are noticeably incomplete. With these larger articles, a cleanup template is usually added instead of a stub template," but I think in this case, the initial application of a stub template is probably the right call. I withdraw my suggestion that the stub template be removed at this time. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 17:37, November 18, 2018 (UTC)
