| This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion, but no reason has been given for why it qualifies. Please ensure that your reason is based on one of the speedy deletion criteria. Replace this tag with {{db|1=some reason}}.
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. Administrators: check links, history (last), and logs before deletion. Consider checking Google.

- This template places the page in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
- Do not edit this template to discuss why a particular article should or should not be deleted -- for that, use the article’s own discussion page.
- Use this template to explain a speedy deletion criterion—why a page should be speedily deleted. Each speedy deletion criterion has its own template, or multiple templates (see Category:Speedy deletion templates). However, if the explanation required for deletion extends beyond a mere quoting of a criterion, of if you wish to list multiple criteria for speedy deletion that a page falls under, use this template to write a custom speedy deletion request.
- Using {{db-reason|reason}} (or the shortcut, {{db|reason}}) will produce the speedy deletion template shown above, except that in the place of "NO REASON GIVEN", your reason will be placed. If no reason is given, however, the text "NO REASON GIVEN" will be displayed.
- If you wish to include a URL in the deletion reason that includes an equal sign ("="), use the following syntax: {{db-reason|1=reason}} (or {{db|1=reason}}). This applies to any equal sign, but especially ones in URLs.
- If you wish to include a vertical bar ("|") that is not part of a template as part of your deletion reason, use {{!}} instead. If the vertical bar is part of a template, however (such as {{tl}}), display it normally.
- Use {{Db-author}} if you are the creator of the page.
