Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Speedy deletion templates

This template (db = "delete because") is a generic speedy deletion template, used to nominate pages for speedy deletion when the reason for deletion requires further details than those provided by the criterion-specific templates (full list at WP:CSD).

  • This template places the page into Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for unspecified reason.
  • Do not edit this template to discuss why a particular article should or should not be deleted – for that, use the article’s own discussion page.
  • Use this template to explain why the page meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Each speedy deletion criterion has its own template; however, if the explanation required for deletion extends beyond a mere quoting of a criterion, use this template to write a custom speedy deletion request.
  • Using {{db|reason}} will produce the speedy deletion template shown above, except that in the place of "Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Red", your reason will be placed. If no reason is given, however, the text "Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:Red" will be displayed.
  • If you wish to include a URL in the deletion reason that includes an equal sign ("="), use the following syntax: {{db|1=reason}}. This applies to any equal sign, but especially ones in URLs.
  • If you wish to include a vertical bar ("|") that is not part of a template as part of your deletion reason, use {{!}} instead. If the vertical bar is part of a template, however, such as {{tl}}, display it normally.
  • Use {{db-author}} if you are the creator and only substantial contributor to the page.
