I was referring to anons creating these substubs before the anon
article creation was blocked. Eternal stubs can refer to either the
type Andrew mentioned or substubs which some people say are
expandable, but actually aren't.

Articles at least need a solid base on which to build: a definition
and slightly more info. If no one is willing to submit that, I don't
see the point in keeping it.
