The Simple Stub Project is essentially a project to determine when a new stub type should be created. Initially, only very few stub types should be created for common topics such as writers, actors, bio's, etcetera. Only when a particular category has exceeded in maintaining an appropriate level of articles, will new stub types be created.

Articles should only temporarily sit in the category of {{stub}} for a brief period of time. Further categorization is needed to locate the stubs you prefer to expand. Locating these easily will be a benefit to this project.
