A stub is a short, essentially content-free page created to fill out the article title space, serve as a target for links, and/or prompt the creation of needed articles. It may also be that a piece of relevant information on a person/organisation has been added on a page without it being expanded into an article. It is a good thing for you to expand and improve these articles.

To find a stub, simply go to Special:Shortpages and click one of the links.
