@1ctinus Generally I don't get involved in ratings, but clearly you have a poor understanding of what a stub is. The standard WP:STUB definition is an article with 1500 characters of text or less. The current article is nearly twice that length, and is considerably longer than most encyclopedic reference work entries on this individual. It's clearly not a stub.4meter4 (talk) 18:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@1ctinus If you are going to rate articles you should take the time to understand rating policy. Generally stub articles are only a single paragraph, possibly two, and are limited to just one or two sources, and they typically don't have multiple sections (ie just a lead section). This particular article had ten references and 21 inline citations across five developed paragraphs. It also had a lead section followed by two developed section's in the article's body; and was made up of five paragraphs. It's clearly was at a more advanced stage of article development. I'm not meaning to be snippy, but if this was rated a stub it wouldn't pass a DYK Review even though it meets the DYK prose length guideline. Ratings can impact articles when they are being evaluated for feature on the main page. Before sticking a stub tag, it's best to ask yourself the following questions...
1) How many references are used? Are there inline citations? If there are a sizable number of references cited (i.e. more than three) this is a strong indication that the article may not be a stub. If inline citations are used throughout, this indicates that the article is not a stub in terms of referencing issues.
2) Does it have a lead section that summarizes a defined body (ie at least one other section with a heading)? If there are no defined sections below the lead it is probably a stub. If there is/are a defined section(s), it may not be a stub.
3) Is the prose count 1500 or above? If it has a prose count 1500 or higher it's most likely a start class article or higher.
This particular article would have passed all those questions easily. Hope this helps with how you review in future. Best.4meter4 (talk) 18:46, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
