* '''[[Smasher]] articles''': a minor, regional-level player (such as [[Aftermath]]) should never be tagged a stub, because SmashWiki just has too many short Smasher articles. On the other hand, a Smasher that competes on the national level (such as [[Isai Alvarado]]) or has great significance in the Smash [[community]] or tournament scene (such as [[Matt Deezie]]) ''should'' be tagged a stub if the subject's influence isn't adequately discussed. | * '''[[Smasher]] articles''': a minor, regional-level player (such as [[Aftermath]]) should never be tagged a stub, because SmashWiki just has too many short Smasher articles.

* '''[[Gameplay]] articles''': every gameplay-related article requires a description or definition of the subject, or else it is a stub. You should also tag important gameplay elements (such as [[wavedash]]) as stubs if they do not discuss how the subject relates to the community or to tournament play. | * '''[[Gameplay]] articles''': every gameplay-related article requires a description or definition of the subject, or else it is a stub.

* '''[[Character]] and [[stage]] articles''': each of these subjects is important and requires a substantial article. A character article is a stub if it does not discuss the character's techniques and strategies in tournament play. A stage article is a stub if it does not at least describe the stage's layout (or provide a picture), or does not indicate the stage's [[tournament legal|legality]] in tournaments. | * '''[[Characters|Character]] and [[stage]] articles''': each of these subjects is important and requires a substantial article.

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. | If a former stub has been lengthened so that it no longer fits the above requirements, you may remove the stub tag.
