	As with Wikipedia, a stub is an article which is clearly too short but not so short as to be useless. On a general manner, it must be long enough to at least define the article's title.

A [[WikiPedia:Perfect_stub_article|stub]] is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less, or possibly consisting solely of links to other articles or external web sites. A stub can also be a place to keep relevant information until a more well-rounded article can be written. A stub is a legitimate article on the subject at hand; it just needs to be expanded.

As with Wikipedia, a stub is an article which is clearly too short but not so short as to be useless. On a general manner, it must be long enough to at least define the article's title.
