Quality not yet Start

I think if you take a look at the quality rating scale (as detailed in the link in the WikiProject banner above) you'll agree that this is definitely not yet a start-class article... It consists of a single paragraph definition. A start-class article needs headings outlining what the full article should contain, or a a very detailed treatment of at least one subtopic, or a very helpful infobox of image, or something more than a definition. (Take a look at some of the example links on the right side of the quality assessment guide table.) I'm changing the rating back to stub; but, if you feel very, very strongly that it should be start, I won't change it back twice. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 12:42, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm lost. The article I'm looking at currently consists of two paragraphs, of which only the first is a definition. I can't find any of the criteria for a Start-class article you give in the table. The example links for the Start and Stub classes in that table aren't really very useful as they don't link to specific versions of the articles, which may well have changed since they were entered in the table. This article has references (I'd honestly completely forgotten it was me who added them - in fact until I checked the history just now I'd forgotten I'd ever edited it), the prose is of good quality, it complies with the Manual of Style... I'd say it's at least Start-class, probably C-class. Granted it's short, but not all topics require a long article. Concision can be a virtue. Qwfp (talk) 21:06, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
