Process	Usage	How to do it
Speedy deletion (SD)	Pages that are suitable for instant deletion, being patent nonsense or pure vandalism and which can obviously be deleted on sight	Either list on speedy deletions or quick-flag the article for speedy deletion using {{db\|Reason}}
Proposed deletion	Articles whose deletion should be uncontroversial but which don't meet the "utter rubbish" criteria for speedy deletion. This is often used for articles which appear to have genuine content but which the deleter feels are not suitable content for Wikipedia, such as advertising, vanity articles, and the like	Flag with {{subst:prod\|Reason}} which will also place it into Category:Proposed deletion; if the deletion is not contested by anyone for five days it can be deleted at an administrator's discretion. Contested prods may be moved to AFD for fuller discussion

Applicable to all articles where deletion is unsure, seriously contested, or may need debate, and all borderline or controversial cases.
