From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reasons for changing speedy-delete template wording:
- Correspond more closely with the criteria for speedy deletion (CSD)
- Brevity/clarity
- Avoid using italics in a way that might imply a direct quote of the CSD
- Often saying "(See CSDXX)" rather than just "(CSDXX)" to avoid implying a direct quote
Implementation:
- To delete "The reason given is:", for brevity, transclude new template Template:speedybase instead of Template:db-meta.

(See CSD G12) |
[edit] Comments
I reversed the role of italics and non-italics so that it's still fairly easy to find the beginning of the part of the template that is unique, but it doesn't imply (as italics sometimes do) that it's an exact quote of the CSD. --Coppertwig (talk) 01:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Articles
| Criterion for speedy deletion | Current template wording | suggested wording | |
|---|---|---|---|

If the article does not exist on another project, use the template {{notenglish}} instead, and list the page at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English for review and possible translation. | This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion.

||

| db-bio | No indication of importance/significance. An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of notability, verifiability and reliability of sources. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. If controversial, as with schools, list the article at Articles for deletion instead. | This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion. The reason given is: It is an article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject.

| a8 | (Placeholder to preserve numbering; superseded by G12.) |
[edit] Comments
When the wording differs from the CSD, I put e.g. "(See CSD A7)" as opposed to just "(CSD A7)".
The parentheses in the db-a5 (transwiki) wording help to emphasize that the requirement that the transwiki-ing be complete applies to the Wiktionary case as well. --Coppertwig (talk) 01:11, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comments re images
i8 (nowcommons) lists conditions that administrators are to check. These differ between WP:CSD and the template. The template could be updated to match CSD, or it could say something like "administrators: before deleting, check that the conditions listed at CSD."
