Stub or start?

Since there's some disagreement, I'll ask for input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. IMHO this is not a stub as it is (yes, barely) over the 250 words/1500 characters of prose treshold, and it is comprehensive (with regards to sources known - there is nothing more in these sources to add here). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:56, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I'd say it's just about a "Start", though with slightly more content and some sections it would definitely be start-class. ORES also predicts "start" at almost 69%. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:50, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kj cheetham Thanks. I'd add more but the sources I have access to are very, very bare. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:04, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
