The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects. "

Emphasis on, "A summary of its most important aspects", it should definitely have all of the important stuff in the lead, so it shouldn't be too short, however, it shouldn't have anymore than that.

It says further down: Heading: Provide an accessible overview. "The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own". "In general, introduce useful abbreviations, but avoid difficult to understand terminology and symbols."

Here is another example of an article with an average or long lead compared with the rest of the content. Falkreath Hold. After the lead there is only a list of locations.. and a Trivia.. This type of article could be improved with more information in the list in my opinion or maybe one should redo it completely?
