Template:Db-a3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article which contains no content whatsoever, or consists only of external links, category tags, a "see also" section, a rephrasing of the title, an attempt to correspond with the person or group named by its title, chat-like comments and/or images. Disambiguation pages are not eligible for this criterion. A very short article may still be a valid stub if there is sufficient context to identify the subject. See CSD A3.

If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with its proposed speedy deletion, please add:

{{hangon}}

directly below this tag, and then explain why you believe this template page should not be deleted on its talk page. This will alert administrators to permit you the time to write your explanation. See help writing your first article.

Administrators: check links, history (last), and logs before deletion.

Please consider placing the template:
{{subst:nocontent-warn|Template:Db-a3|header=1}} ~~~~
on the talk page of the author.

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD A3. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page in the category Candidates for speedy deletion.

Contents

[edit] Usage

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

[edit] Parameters

{{db-a3}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-a3|bot=ExampleBot}}

Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

Author notification

If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

{{subst:nocontent-warn|PageName|header=1}}

On the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following user warning template:

{{subst:#ifeq:{{{header}}}|1|==[[:{{{1}}}]]==}}

A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]], 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 no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, 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.
