Stub pages are not "incomplete" pages – at least, not in any fundamentally different way from how ''all'' wiki pages are "incomplete". No page on the wiki is ever truly complete; circumstances change, things become known or forgotten, new tropes and works are written, and other things happen that lead to even the oldest, heavily-analyzed, trope-overdosed pages can never truly be called "complete". Stub pages are just a bit sparse in information. |

It appears that we actually have to say this... Stub pages are ''not'' pages that have been nominated for deletion. The stub templates exist to direct tropers to pages that need more work, not warn of their impending doom. This leads to an obvious corollary: that work pages do not ever get deleted unless they are bogus, plagiarized, or otherwise violate wiki rules. |
