(This is related to the proper size of articles/intros discussion)
As a compromise between the deletionists and the inclusionist factions, perhaps a stub article could first go through a simple "notes page" stage.
This would have a simple template on the article itself, saying
"This article is in an embryonic [[notes]] stage, where notes are being compiled. You can add to [[/notes|these notes]], or bring bring the article to the [[WP:STUB|fetal]] level."
The notes thing could work like the {{todo}} works, by dumping text from the notes into a frame on the article.
