The very thought of speedying a halfway decent stub strikes me as both a very bad idea, and very dangerous to the encyclopaedia. How many featured articles started out as stubs?
While I agree, you *did* see the size of those stubs, right? Two more sentences and I doubt they would have been speedied. Probably put on afd though. We really should encourage adding more information in one edit.
Indeed, those articles were stubs as they contained more than just one tiny sentence. We should indeed encourage more than one-sentence edits to start articles. One sentence is not a stub but a substub.
