Season 1 (1990)

A tag has been placed on Season 1 (1990), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Season 1 of what? Fan-1967 17:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I can't see the point of detailed breakdowns of who won what on some long-canceled game show, but opinions vary. The point is that the article you created had a title that gave no indication of what it was, and the article itself gave no indication of what it was. Many people choose to click on the "Random article" link on the left side of the page, and may land at any article. The title and content of each article should give enough context for them to know what they landed on. Many things, sports leagues, TV shows, whatever, may have had a season 1 in 1990. Therefore that's not an appropriate title. At a minimum, the article title should be something like "The Crystal Maze - Season 1" with an opening paragraph to explain the context.
