I read an article. It was very short and straight-forward. I felt that it could have been longer and more extensive. What word could I use to describe the article.
What word could I use to say that the article wasn't extensive enough? Is there a word for that?
I'm sure it is........

Elaborate -- the article could have elaborated more on its main points. Sounds like the article was too succinct.

Perhaps the article was superficial?

You might try, "The article was more succinct than I would have liked."
