Very short featured articles

It has been debated weather very short articles can become Featured articles (FA).

Some editors don't like short articles at Featured article candidates (FAC). Many bring up good points. Others argue that any article which meets Wikipedia's notability requirements can become featured. So, should a 500-word (or less) article be able to make FA?

Featured articles under 400 words have been proposed. WP:GA was initially designed for such articles, but Wikipedia has appeared to have moved beyond that concept.
