[edit] Template documentation

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G4. 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

Please note that this template is only to be used for reposting of content previously deleted via an XfD-type discussion.


{{db-g4}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-g4|bot=ExampleBot}}

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

{{db-g4|DeletionDiscussionLink}}

Where DeletionDiscussionLink is the pagename of the most recent XfD discussion. This parameter should be specified if the page was previously deleted under a different name, or in a non-obvious location (such as a 2nd or subsequent nomination). If this parameter is not specified, the default is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/{{PAGENAME}}.

Author notification

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

{{subst:uw-repost|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|==Repost of [[:{{{1}}}]]==}}
A tag has been placed on an article you created, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how {{{1}}} is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on [[Talk:{{{1}}}]] saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please feel free to use deletion review, but do not continue to repost the article if it is deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.
