We've deleted or noindex almost every short content page (stub). People can't create stubs any more. The issue is resolved and after our analysis the short pages were 6% of our traffic. we deleted them or expand their content and it looks like we will be even on a traffic basis after doing this. lesson learned? short pages only hurt you and are a waste of time since google is smart enough to not rank them (at least not well). Look at our homepage and you'll see our new standard is 300 original words or delete/noindex the page.
