To be a featured article an article should be reasonably complete for the level of coverage we provide... but that doesn't require it to be long.
I've heard that there is a trend on FAC is to encourage the creation of very long articles... even, perhaps, where really long is inappropriate. If this is the case then it's a cause to improve the FA process, not a cause to back away from making more articles featurable.
In my experience I haven't seen this--my most recent FA has only about 10k of prose, and more often than the converse, people object because articles are too long (more than 30-40k of prose).
