Wikipedia:One sentence does not an article make

This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.

This page in a nutshell: One sentence "articles" and "essays" that cannot be expanded should be deleted.

One sentence does not an article make. A single sentence cannot impart sufficient information on a reader on a subject in a significant, meaningful way without it becoming a dictionary definition—and there is a great difference between a dictionary and an encyclopedia.
