A stub is a short article that gives only a brief introduction about its subject. In the assessment scale, it is the lowest class assigned to an article. A stub would usually contain only a few sentences, so it does not provide a considerable encyclopedic coverage of the subject. However, a stub does provide some useful information on the subject.
If you don't have enough sources to write a more detailed article, but think that a subject is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, you can go for a stub. On the other hand, if you feel you can improve an article beyond this, by all means do so.
