Basic Information  A stub is an article containing only a few
sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic
coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful
information. Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs,
even if they lack wikification or copy editing. With these
articles, a cleanup template is usually added instead of a stub
template. Note that if a small article has little properly
sourced information, or if its subject has no inherent
notability, it may be deleted or be merged into another relevant
article.  There is no set size at which an article stops being a
stub. While very short articles are likely to be stubs, there
are some subjects about which there is very little that can be
written. Conversely, there are subjects about which a lot could
be written - 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
