Definition of a "Stub"

When does a stub cease to be a stub? Is there some sort of definition? I always thought of stubs to be about one to two sentences long, but I've also seen longer articles marked as stub. - Gabumon^(talk) 12:59, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

I think articles longer than two sentences can also be stubs, as long as there is much more to write about a topic. For example, if the Mario article were 20 sentences long, it would be a stub as well, IMO. Time Questions 14:40, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

Agree with Time Q. It depends on how complex the subject is. --Grandy02 14:43, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, ok, the Mario-article with 20 sentences IS ridiculous. But take Cymbal Bush for an example. I just rewrote that part and added everything I could think of. However, it's still only 997 bytes in size. Would that still be a stub?- Gabumon^(talk) 14:45, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

Personally, I consider something unstubbed if it contains the five things I described in the "Main Page" example. The physical size of the article doesn't matter as long as all the important information is covered. You don't need to make it FA quality to unstub it. That example you linked to is definitely not a stub.--Knife (talk) 16:30, 14 October 2009 (EDT)
