This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: An article on Wikipedia should contain content that causes the article to cover the topic of said article. An article's title is one indicator of that article's topic. |
An article on Wikipedia should contain content which causes that article to actually cover the stated topic of that article. The title of an article is an important ingredient, albeit an obvious one, in accurately delineating the topic, scope, and focus of that article.
