{{Deletion policy list}}

'''Speedy deletion''' is a process that provides [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] with broad [[Wikipedia:consensus|consensus]] to bypass [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion discussion]], at their discretion, and immediately delete Wikipedia pages or media. Pages are eligible for speedy deletion only if they meet one of the '''criteria for speedy deletion''' ('''CSD'''). Because deletion is reversible only by administrators, other deletions occur only after discussion, unless they are [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]s. Speedy deletion is intended to reduce the time spent on deletion discussions for pages or media with [[Wikipedia:Snowball clause|no practical chance]] of surviving discussion.<ref>In this context, ''speedy'' refers to the simple decision-making process, not the length of time since the article was created.</ref> Anyone can request speedy deletion by adding one of the [[Wikipedia:Template index/Speedy deletion|speedy deletion templates]], but only administrators may actually delete. 

Before nominating a page for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]], merged or redirected elsewhere, reverted to a better previous revision, or handled in some other way (see {{section link|Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Alternatives to deletion}}). A page is eligible for speedy deletion only if all of its [[Help:Page history|history]] is also eligible. Users nominating a page for speedy deletion should specify which criterion/criteria the page meets, and should notify the page creator and any major contributors. If a page needs to be removed from Wikipedia for privacy reasons (e.g. non-public personal information, a child disclosing their age, possible libel), [[Wikipedia:Requests for oversight|request oversight]] instead.

{{Anchor|Removing speedy deletion tags}}
{{Shortcut|WP:CSDCONTEST|WP:RMCSD}}
For most speedy deletion criteria, {{em|the creator of a page may not remove the deletion tag from it}}; only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the ''Contest this speedy deletion'' button that appears inside of the speedy deletion tag. This button links to the [[Wikipedia:Talk page|discussion page]] with a pre-formatted area for the creator to explain why the page should not be deleted. If an editor other than the creator removes a speedy deletion tag in [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|good faith]], it should be taken as a sign that the deletion is controversial and another deletion process should be used. The creator of a page may remove a speedy deletion tag only if the criterion in question is [[#G6|G6]], [[#G7|G7]], [[#G8|G8]], [[#G13|G13]], [[#G14|G14]], [[#C1|C1]], [[#C4|C4]], [[#T5|T5]], or [[#U1|U1]].<ref>The current wording of this paragraph dates to [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 77#Contesting deletion: proposed changes to the text|an April 2020 discussion]]. G14 was added in [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 79#Can creators remove G14 tags?|October 2020]]. C1 was added in [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 83#C1 removal by author|August 2022]]. C4 was added in [[Wikipedia_talk:Speedy_deletion/Archive_89#C4_and_author_removal|September 2024]]. T5 was added in [[Wikipedia_talk:Speedy_deletion/Archive_90#Author_removal|February 2025]].</ref>

Administrators should take care not to speedily delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases. If a page has survived its most recent deletion discussion, it should not be speedily deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations and pages that meet specific uncontroversial criteria; these criteria are noted below. Contributors sometimes create pages over several edits, so administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation.

Besides speedy deletion, there are the following methods of deletion:
* [[Wikipedia:Deletion discussions]] (<small>[[Wikipedia:AFD|AfD]], [[Wikipedia:CFD|CfD]], [[Wikipedia:FFD|FfD]], [[Wikipedia:MFD|MfD]], [[Wikipedia:RFD|RfD]], [[Wikipedia:TFD|TfD]]</small>), the normal method of carrying out deletion.
* [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion]]s, for nominating articles and files for uncontroversial deletion.
* [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people]], for articles on living persons without sources.

== <span class="anchor" id="cri"></span><span class="anchor" id="CRI"></span><span class="anchor" id="crit"></span><span class="anchor" id="CRIT"></span><span class="anchor" id="CRITERIA"></span>Nomenclature ==

Letter-number abbreviations (G12, A3...) are often used to refer to these criteria, and are given in each section. For example, "CSD G12" refers to ''criterion 12'' under ''general'' (copyright infringement) and "CSD U1" refers to ''criterion 1'' under ''user'' (user request). Some in-between numbers are skipped, as abbreviations denoting [[#Obsolete criteria|obsolete criteria]] remain unused. {{Strong|These abbreviations can be confusing}} to new editors or anyone else unfamiliar with this page; in many situations a [[Wikipedia:Technical terms and definitions|plain-English explanation]] of why a specific page was or should be deleted is preferable.

Immediately following each criterion below is a list of templates used to mark pages or media files for speedy deletion under the criterion being used. To alert administrators to the nomination, place the relevant speedy deletion template at the top of the page or media file you are nominating (but see {{sectionlink|#Pages that need to be tagged in a special manner}} below). Please be sure to supply an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] that mentions that the page is being nominated for speedy deletion. All of the speedy deletion templates are named as ''Db-X'' with ''Db'' standing for 'delete because'. A list of the ''Db-X'' templates can be found at [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Deletion templates]].

If a page falls under more than one of the criteria, instead of adding multiple tags it is possible to add a single {{Tl|Db-multiple}} tag to cover them all. For example, if an article seems both to be blatantly promotional ([[#G11|G11]]) and also to fail to indicate the significance of its subject (A7) then the tag {{Tlx|Db-multiple|G11|A7}} can be used to indicate both of these concerns. The article can then be speedily deleted if an administrator assesses it and decides that either or both of the criteria apply.

There is a strong consensus that the creators and major contributors of pages and media files should be warned of a speedy deletion nomination (or of the deletion if not informed before). All speedy deletion templates (using criteria other than U1, U2, G5<ref>except {{tl|db-gs}} which has {{tl|db-gs-notice}}</ref>, G6<ref>except {{tl|db-copypaste}} which has {{tl|db-copypaste-notice}}</ref>, G7, G8, C4 and X3) thus contain in their body a pre-formatted, suggested warning template to notify the relevant party or parties of the nomination for speedy deletion under the criterion used. You can copy and paste such warnings to the talk pages of the creators and major contributors, choose from others listed at [[:Category:Speedy deletion warning templates]], or place the unified warning template, {{Tlxs|CSD-warn|{{Var|csd}}|''Page name''}}, which allows you to tailor your warning under any particular criterion by replacing <code>{{Var|csd}}</code> with the associated criterion abbreviation (e.g. g4, a7).

Use common sense when applying a speedy deletion request to a page: review the page history to make sure that all earlier revisions of the page meet the speedy deletion criterion, because a single editor can replace an article with material that appears to cause the page to meet one or more of the criteria.

=== Pages that need to be tagged in a special manner ===
Some pages either cannot or should not be tagged for speedy deletion in the normal manner:
* Pages that you cannot edit (e.g., due to protection), or [[JavaScript Object Notation|JSON]] pages: place the template on the corresponding Talk page instead, along with an explanation of which page to delete.
* [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|Template:]] pages: place the template within a noinclude tag, like {{Tag|noinclude|content={{tlf|Db-x}}}}, so the deletion tag doesn't get included in a page using it.
* [[Wikipedia:Lua|Module:]] pages (except for /doc pages): place the template with [[Module:Module wikitext]], like this: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua" inline>require('Module:Module wikitext')._addText('{{Db-x}}')</syntaxhighlight>
* [[Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] (including [[Wikipedia:TemplateStyles|sanitized CSS]]) or [[Wikipedia:User scripts|JavaScript]] pages: place the template in a comment, like this: <code>/* {{tlf|Db-x}} */</code>

== Pages that have survived deletion discussions ==
{{For|general principles of how deletion processes interact|Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Process interaction}}
As an exception to the norm that a page surviving its most recent deletion discussion means that it should not be speedily deleted, the following criteria apply also to those pages, with or without any specified limitations:
{{unbulleted list|style=margin-left:1.6em;
|{{slink||G5. Creations by banned or blocked users, or in violation of general sanctions}}{{snd}}subject to the strict condition that the XfD participants were unaware that the page would have met this criterion
|{{slink||G6. Technical deletions}}{{snd}}only if the deletion is temporary, or if no actual content will be removed
|{{slink||G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page}}
|{{slink||G9. Office actions}}
|{{slink||G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement}}
|{{slink||G13. Abandoned drafts and Articles for creation submissions}}{{snd}}if 6 months have passed since the deletion discussion and any subsequent human edits
|{{slink||G14. Unnecessary disambiguation pages}}{{snd}}if extant pages listed have decreased down to 0 (or to 1, other requirements being met), since the deletion discussion
|{{slink||F8. Files available as identical copies on Wikimedia Commons}}{{snd}}if the image did not exist on Commons at the time of the FfD
|{{slink||F9. Unambiguous copyright infringement}}
|{{slink||U1. User request}}
}}
These criteria may only be used in such cases when no controversy exists; in the event of a dispute, [[Wikipedia:Deletion venues|start a new deletion discussion]].

This applies to pages that only consist of [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism, blatant and obvious misinformation (including files intended to misinform) and blatant [[Wikipedia:Do not create hoaxes|hoaxes]]. [[Wikipedia:Do not create hoaxes#Hoaxes, versus articles about hoaxes|Articles {{em|about}} notable hoaxes]] are acceptable if it is clear that they are ''describing'' a hoax.

=== <span class="anchor" id="G4"></span><span class="anchor" id="g4"></span><span class="anchor" id="repost"></span>G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion ===
{{Shortcut|WP:G4}}
This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent [[Wikipedia:Deletion discussions|deletion discussion]].<ref>The result of the most recent deletion discussion controls. This means that if the most recent discussion was "keep" or a default to keep through no consensus, G4 does not apply. Likewise, an article that was deleted through its most recent discussion, but was kept in earlier discussions, is subject to the criterion and may be deleted ([[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 44#Is CSD G4 applicable or inapplicable to a previously kept page whose most recent discussion ended in deletion?|discussion]]).</ref> It excludes pages that are {{em|not}} substantially identical to the deleted version, and pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies.<ref>For the avoidance of doubt, if a page is deleted at AfD and subsequently recreated as a redirect, G4 does not apply, even if that option was discussed and rejected in the AfD ([[Special:Permalink/1188537615#RfC: Does CSD:G4 apply to a page deleted in AfD and immediately recreated as a redirect page?|discussion]]).</ref> It excludes pages in userspace and draftspace where the content was converted<ref>A conversion to draft is when a page from a different namespace is moved, or its content copied, as a draft.</ref> to a [[WP:DRAFT|draft]] for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]). This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]], or that was only deleted via [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] (including deletion discussions closed as [[WP:SOFTDELETE|"soft delete"]]) or speedy deletion.

A page being [[WP:SALT|creation protected]] is not a factor in whether G4 applies; the content still has to be substantially identical. For cases that aren't substantially identical it may be wise to [[WP:DRAFTIFY|move to draft space]] without leaving a redirect.

{{Shortcut|WP:G5}}
{{Further|Wikipedia:Banning policy#Edits by and on behalf of banned and blocked editors}}
This applies to pages created by [[Wikipedia:Banning policy|banned]] or [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] users {{strong|in violation of their ban or block}}, as well as pages created in violation of [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|general sanctions]], and that have no substantial edits by others<ref>Note that accepting a draft at [[WP:Articles for creation]] is not considered a substantial edit per [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 November 26]]</ref> not subject to the ban or sanctions.
* To qualify for a ban- or block-based speedy deletion, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted or expired will not qualify under this criterion.
* For [[Wikipedia:Banning policy#Topic ban|topic-banned]] editors, the page must be a violation of the user's specific ban, and must not include contributions legitimately about some other topic.
* For [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|general sanctions]], the page must have been created in violation of creation restrictions, such as the [[WP:ECR|extended confirmed restriction]], and the remedies must specifically permit deletion as an enforcement measure.<ref>The arbitration committee and the community have included the following when deciding a topic area should be covered by the [[WP:ARBECR|extended confirmed restriction]]: "Non-extended-confirmed editors may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by non-extended-confirmed editors is permitted but not required."</ref>
* When a blocked or banned person uses an alternate account ([[Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppet]]) to avoid a restriction, any pages created via the sock account after the earliest block or ban of any of that person's accounts qualify for G5 (if not substantially edited by others); this is the most common case for applying G5.
* G5 should not be applied to [[WP:TRANS|transcluded]] templates or [[WP:CAT|populated categories]] unless they have been transcluded or populated entirely by the banned or blocked user; these edits [[WP:BANREVERT|need to be reverted]] before deletion.

{{Shortcut|WP:G6}}
{{see also|Wikipedia:What G6 is not}}

This is for [[Wikipedia:Consensus|uncontroversial]] maintenance, including:
* Deleting redirects or other pages which prevent [[Help:Renaming (moving) a page|page moves]]. Administrators should be aware of the [[Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Moving procedures|proper procedures]] where a redirect or page holding up a page move has a non-trivial page history. An administrator who deletes a page that is blocking a move should ensure that the move is completed after deleting it.
* Deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace, or redirects created by moving away from a title that was obviously unintended.
* Deleting templates orphaned as the result of a consensus at [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]].

* {{Tlp|Db-g6|2=rationale=''reason''}} <small>– If none of the special tags below applies, this tag should be used with a reason specified in the {{Para|rationale}} parameter.</small>

* Talk page archives (except article talk page archives where the corresponding article and main talk page have been deleted and the page is not otherwise useful to Wikipedia – check for page-moves and merges before using G8 on article-talk-page-archives; the parent article might still exist under a different name)
* Redirects that were broken as a result of a page move or retargeting (these should instead be retargeted to their target's new name), except where [[WP:R2|R2]] speedy deletion would then immediately apply if they were fixed (e.g., redirects to articles that have been [[WP:DRAFTIFY|draftified]])

* Talk pages for files that exist on [[Wikipedia:Wikimedia Commons|Wikimedia Commons]]
* Pages that should be moved to a different location<ref>Note that new editors sometimes mistakenly start article drafts on talk pages that have no article.

Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained.

{{Shortcut|WP:G14}}

=== <span class="anchor" id="G15"></span><span class="anchor" id="g15"></span>G15. LLM-generated pages without human review ===
{{Shortcut|WP:G15}}
This applies to any page that exhibits one or more of the following signs which indicate that the page could only plausibly have been generated by [[large language model]]s (LLM)<ref>The technology behind [[AI chatbot]]s such as [[ChatGPT]] and [[Google Gemini]].</ref> and would have been removed by any ''reasonable human review'':<ref>Here, "reasonable human review" means that a human editor has 1) thoroughly read and edited the LLM-generated text and 2) verified that the generated citations exist and verify corresponding content. For example, even a brand new editor would recognize that a user-aimed message like "I hope this helps!" is wholly inappropriate for inclusion if they had read the page carefully. See also [[Wikipedia:Large language models]].</ref>  

* '''Communication intended for the user''': This may include collaborative communication (e.g., "Here is your Wikipedia article on..."), knowledge-cutoff disclaimers (e.g., "Up to my last training update ..."), self-insertion (e.g., "as a large language model"), and unfilled [[phrasal template]]s (e.g., "Smith was born on [Birth Date]" rather than the person's actual birth date).
* '''Implausible non-existent references''': This may include external links that are [[Wikipedia:Link rot|dead]] on arrival, [[ISBN]]s with invalid [[checksum]]s, and unresolvable [[Digital Object Identifiers|DOI]]s. Since humans can make typos and links may suffer from [[link rot]], a single example should not be considered definitive. Editors should use additional methods to verify whether a reference truly does not exist.
* '''Nonsensical citations''': This may include citations of incorrect temporality (e.g., a source from 2010 being cited for a 2022 event), DOIs that resolve to completely unrelated content (e.g., a paper on a beetle species being cited for a computer science article), and citations that attribute the wrong author or publication.

In addition to the clear-cut signs listed above, there are other, more subjective [[WP:AISIGNS|signs of LLM writing]] that may also plausibly stem from human error or unfamiliarity with Wikipedia's [[WP:PAG|policies and guidelines]]. While these indicators can be used in conjunction with more clear-cut indicators listed above, they should not, on their own, serve as the sole basis for applying this criterion.

Redirect pages that have useful page history should never be speedily deleted. In some cases it may be possible to make a useful redirect by changing the target instead of deleting it. Redirects that do not work because of software limitations, such as redirects to special pages or to pages on other wikis, may be converted to soft redirects if they have a non-trivial history or other valid uses.

{{Shortcut|WP:F11}}
If an uploader has specified a license and has named a third party as the source/copyright holder without providing evidence that this third party has in fact agreed, the item may be deleted {{strong|seven days after notification}} of the uploader. Acceptable evidence of licensing normally consists of either a link to the source website where the license is stated, or a statement by the copyright holder e-mailed or forwarded to {{mailto|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}. Such a confirmation is also required if the source is an organization that the uploader claims to represent, or a web publication that the uploader claims to be their own.

Instances of {{strong|obvious}} copyright violations where the uploader would have no reasonable expectation of obtaining permission (e.g. major studio movie posters, television images, album covers, logos that are not [[Threshold of originality|original enough to be public domain]], etc.) should be speedily deleted per [[#F9|F9]] (unambiguous copyright infringement), unless fair-use can be claimed. Files tagged with {{Tl|Permission pending}} for more than 30 days may also be speedily deleted under this criterion. (The backlog for messages sent to the permissions-en queue is currently {{plural|{{VRT backlog}}|day}}. You may wish to wait at least this amount of time before tagging VRT pending images for deletion.) Files tagged {{tl|Permission received}} whose permissions have not been confirmed after 30 days may be deleted immediately under this criterion, without waiting an additional seven days, provided a check of the ticket is performed by a VRT agent to confirm that no further interaction is ongoing.

{{Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Common requests}}
The following are not {{em|by themselves}} sufficient to justify speedy deletion:
# '''Reasons based on [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] or essays'''. Wikipedia is not: "a dictionary", "an indiscriminate collection of information", "a crystal ball", "a how-to list"; or essays like [[Wikipedia:Listcruft]], [[Wikipedia:Obscure topics]], [[Wikipedia:Deny recognition]],...; are not valid reasons for speedy deletion.
# '''[[Wikipedia:HOAX|Less-obvious hoaxes]]'''. If even only remotely plausible, a suspected hoax article should receive scrutiny in a wider forum. Truth is often stranger than fiction. Note that "blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation" are subject to speedy deletion as [[#G3|vandalism]].
# '''Original research'''. It is not always easy to tell whether an article consists of material that violates [[Wikipedia:No original research|the policy against novel theories or interpretations]] or is simply unsourced.
# '''Notability'''. Articles that seem to have obviously non-notable subjects are eligible for speedy deletion only if the article does not give [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|a credible indication of why the subject might be important or significant]].
# '''Failure to assert importance but not an [[#A7|A7]], [[#A9|A9]] or [[#A11|A11]] category'''. There is no consensus to speedily delete articles of types not specifically listed in A7, A9 or A11 under those criteria. Nor does it apply for [[neologism]]s that do not meet [[#A11|A11]] because new specialized terms should have a wider hearing.
# '''Author deletion requests made in bad faith'''. Author deletion requests made in bad faith, out of frustration, after others have contributed substantially (because the work of others is involved) or in an attempt to [[Wikipedia:Revocation of our licensing is not permitted|revoke their freely-licensed contributions]] are not granted. However, anyone may request deletion of pages in their userspace.
# '''Very short articles'''. Short articles with sufficient content and context to qualify as [[Wikipedia:STUB|stubs]] may not be speedily deleted under criteria [[#A1|A1]] and [[#A3|A3]]; other criteria may still apply.
# '''Copies that are not copyright violations'''. If content appears both here and somewhere else (possibly in modified form), consider the possibility that Wikipedia's is the original version and the other site copied from Wikipedia's version. Alternatively, the same author may have written both versions, or the original may be free content.
# '''PNG / GIF files replaced by JPEG images'''. JPEG encoding discards information that may be important later. Do not delete the original PNG / GIF files.
# '''Questionable material that is not vandalism'''. Earnest efforts are never vandalism, so to [[Wikipedia:assume good faith|assume good faith]], do not delete as vandalism unless reasonably certain.
# '''User and user talk pages of IP addresses'''. Although users are encouraged to create Wikipedia accounts, unregistered users are still allowed to edit Wikipedia, and are identified by their IP addresses. If an unregistered user has a static IP address, it may have a user page and/or user talk page associated with it, and even for non-static IP addresses, the history can contain important discussions or information that may be of interest.
# '''An article written in a foreign language or script'''. An article should not be speedily deleted just because it is not written in English. Instead it should be tagged with {{Tl|Not English}} and listed at [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English]]. It may be reconsidered after translation whether the article merits deletion, retention or improvement by means of a suitable tag. However, if it already exists on another Wikimedia project, it {{em|might}} be speedily deletable under criterion [[#A2|A2]].
# '''Subject request'''. Sometimes somebody claiming to be the subject of a biographical article requests deletion of the article, or even blanks the article. Article subjects do not have an automatic right to have their articles deleted. Nor does such a criterion apply to namespaces other than article space: for example, pages in the Wikipedia namespace devoted to a discussion about a particular editor. See also: {{sectionlink|Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Deletion of biographies and BLPs}}
# '''Orphaned pages or redirects'''. A page cannot be deleted just because no other pages link to it. This includes redirects – even if 'What links here' returns nothing, a redirect may be a likely search phrase, or have links to it from outside Wikipedia.
# '''Redirects that are poorly targeted'''. A redirect should not be deleted just because its target is incorrect or confusing. Instead, change the redirect to a better target. If you're not sure where it should be targeted, open a discussion at [[WP:RFD|Redirects for discussion]].
# '''Drafts covering the same topic as an existing mainspace article'''. These are not valid deletions under [[#A10|A10]] (due to not being articles) nor [[#G6|G6]]. They can be [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Speedy redirect|replaced with a redirect to the mainspace article]] or [[wP:M5|merged]] if necessary.
# '''Conflict of interest'''.  Merely having an author connected to its subject, or even one paid to write about it, is not by itself sufficient to speedy delete a page.  While users [[Wikipedia:Username policy#Promotional usernames|with promotional usernames]] are frequently blocked, [[#G5|G5]] does not apply unless they were already evading a block or ban when they wrote it.  [[#G11|G11]] can be used to delete exclusively-promotional ''writing'', but doesn't apply to neutrally-written material even if the intent is obviously promotional.

{{See also|Wikipedia:Deletion process}}
Make sure to specify the reason for deletion in the deletion summary. Also, in general, the article's creator and major contributors should have been notified.

Before deleting a page, check the [[Wikipedia:Page history|page history]] to assess whether it would instead be possible to [[Help:Reverting|revert]] and salvage a previous version, or there was actually a [[Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves|cut-and-paste move]] involved. Also:
* The initial [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] may have information about the source of or reason for the page.
* The [[Help:Talk page|talk page]] may refer to previous deletion discussions or have ongoing discussion relevant to including the page.
* The [[Help:Log|page log]] may have information about previous deletions that could warrant [[Wikipedia:SALT|SALT]]ing the page or keeping it on good reason.
* ''[[Special:WhatLinksHere|What links here]]'' may show that the page is an oft-referred part of the encyclopedia, or may show other similar pages that warrant deletion. For pages that should not be re-created, incoming links in other pages (except in discussions, archives and tracking pages) should be removed.

'''If speedy deletion is inappropriate''' for a page:
# Please remove the speedy deletion tag from the page. Doing so will automatically remove the page from [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]].
# Consider notifying the nominator, using {{tl|speedy-decline}} or {{tl|uw-csd}}. (If you're using [[User:Ale jrb/Scripts|CSD Helper]], it will usually notify the nominator for you; it will normally use [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Ale_jrb/Scripts/CSDHelper&action=raw its own notification template].)

'''When deleting''' a page through the speedy deletion process, please specify the reason for deletion in the deletion summary, so that it will be recorded into the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]]. Quoting page content in the deletion summary may be helpful, but '''''must not''''' be done for [[#G10|attack content]] or [[#G12|copyrighted text]]. In some cases, it would be appropriate to notify the page's creator of the deletion.

[[WP:Twinkle|Twinkle]] or [[User:Ale jrb/Scripts#CSDH (CSD Helper)|CSDHelper]] can be used to process nominations more quickly and smoothly. When processing a nomination:
* Twinkle can delete the page.
** Twinkle can notify the page creator if the page is deleted.
* CSDH can delete the page, convert the nomination into a [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|PROD]] nomination, or decline the nomination.
** CSDH can notify the nominator if the nomination is converted or declined.

The remainder were merged into broader criteria or deprecated entirely. 
; {{Anchor|A4|a4}} ''[[#Articles|A]]4. Attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title'' : Merged with and later superseded by [[#A3|"No content"]] (A3) in November 2005<ref>[[Special:Diff/29215127|Diff of change]]</ref> as part of a [[Wikipedia:BOLD|bold rewrite]] that was made to simplify the CSD criterion (''[[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 6#Deprecate CSD|archived discussion 1]], [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 6#Rewrite|discussion 2]], [[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 6#Changing policy requires consensus|discussion 3]]'').
; {{Anchor|A5|a5|transwiki}} ''A5. Transwikied articles'' :  Was repealed in December 2022 due to lack of use ([[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 84#A5. Transwikied articles - Wiktionary|''unopposed proposal'']]). Instead, use [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]]. Deleted articles that are temporarily restored to allow for a transwiki may be re-deleted under [[#G6|"technical deletion"]] (G6).
; {{Anchor|A6|a6}} ''A6. Attack articles'' : Superseded by [[#G10|"Attack pages"]] (G10) in March 2006 ''([[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 8#Proposed CSD G10 - Attack pages|discussion]])''.
; {{Anchor|A8|a8}} ''A8. Blatant copyright infringement articles'' : Superseded by [[#G12|"Unambiguous copyright infringement"]] (G12) in October 2006 ''([[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 13#Turning A8 into a general criteria|unopposed proposal]])''.

; {{anchor|F7a|f7a|I7a|i7a}} ''[[#Files|F]]7a. [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|Non-free]] images or media with a clearly invalid fair-use tag'' : Repealed in March 2021 due to the problem being easily surmountable (''[[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 80#Modification of F7|discussion]]''). Instead, the invalid tag should be corrected. Once the tag is corrected, other speedy deletion criteria may apply.
; {{Anchor|F10|f10|I10|i10|uselessnonmedia}} ''F10. Useless non-media files'' : Deprecated in favor of [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]] in February 2023 following rare usage and added technical restrictions on what file types can be uploaded (''[[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 85#RfC: Removing F10.

; {{Anchor|T2|t2|misrepresent|T2. Misrepresentation of policy}} ''T2. Misrepresentation of policy'' : Was repealed in July 2020 following rare, often incorrect, use ([[Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 78#RfC: Removing T2|''discussion'']]). Instead, [[#G3|"pure vandalism"]] (G3) may be applicable in some cases; otherwise, use [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]].
; {{Anchor|T3|t3|hardcode|T3. Duplication and hardcoded instances}}''T3. Duplication and hardcoded instances'' : Was repealed in December 2020 due to misuse and the seven day hold ([[WT:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 79#RFC: should WP:T3 be deprecated?|''discussion'']]).
