This is similar to #665
The definition of large text needs more details about combinations of sizes and weights that constitute large text.

There is no way to answer these questions:
Is 15pt demi-bold large text? Does it pass WCAG at 3:1 contrast ratio, or does it need to be 4.5:1?

As it's, again, dependent on the actual specific font itself, I'd say there's really no point in trying to extend the flawed definition with even more flawed definitions.
