In terms of length, a stub is an article that is only a few sentences long.  However, this length is not a fast and steady rule.  You shouldn't, for instance, add a stub tag to a short article about an unimportant topic.  However, some subjects are so important (like [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] or [[wavedash]]) that even a description of several paragraphs might be short enough for the article to be deemed a stub.

If a former stub has been lengthened so that it no longer fits the above requirements, you may remove the stub tag.  You do not need to request permission to take it off.  In some cases, however, it would be nice if you made a note of it in the article's talk page, especially if the page's stub status is controversal.
