| This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion. It was previously deleted via a deletion discussion, is substantially identical to the deleted version, and any changes do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. See CSD G4.
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:
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. See this page's AfD, 2nd AfD, or MfD. Note: Previously PROD-deleted articles are not eligible under this criterion. Previously speedily deleted articles are also ineligible for this criterion, although they may be deleteable under other criteria. Check the deletion log for prior deletion rationales. |

This template places the page in the category Candidates for speedy deletion.
Contents |
Usage
The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.
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:
A tag has been placed on a page you created requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.See also
