IMHO, this kind of thing is one of Wikipedia's greatest failings. We
still can't even agree on a definition of things like "stub", and it
seems to be in everyone's interest not to. People like stuff like that
being subjective.

(FWIW, I think it's reasonable to have "stub" be relative to the
expected content. Two paragraphs on a country would clearly be a
"stub". Two paragraphs on an obscure medieval scribe might be the most
comprehensive resource possible.)
