Template:Db-a7/new

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Note that books, albums, software etc.; and potentially controversial topics such as schools, are not eligible for this criterion. See CSD A7.

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.

Please use a more explicit template - {{db-person}}, {{db-band}}, {{db-club}}, {{db-inc}} or {{db-web}} where possible.
Administrators: check links, history (last), and logs before deletion.

Please consider placing the template:
{{subst:nn-warn|Db-a7/new|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 A7. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page in the categories Candidates for speedy deletion, and Importance or significance not asserted pages for speedy deletion.

Contents

[edit] Usage

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

[edit] Parameters

{{db-a7}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-a7|bot=ExampleBot}}

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

{{db-a7|TypeOfEntity}}

Where TypeOfEntity is the type of subject the article is about (band, company, website, etc). Please ensure that the entity is one of those listed in the CSD criterion, and consider instead using one of the more specific templates listed below.

Author notification

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

{{subst:nn-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|==Notability of [[:{{{1}}}]]==}}
A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:{{{1}}}|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
