Template:Db-spamuser/doc

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G11. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categories: Candidates for speedy deletion, and Candidates for speedy deletion as spam.

When to use
This tag is for absolutely obvious, uncontroversial, blatant, no-reasonable-human-could-possibly-disagree advertising.

For example, use this when User:Bob's Widget Shop has a user page reading. Don't use this for new editors who are following the advice in WP:UPGOOD guideline to write something about themselves on their userpage, which expressly includes permission for "a simple link" to their own website (including a social media account, a personal website, or even their own business). Remember that knowing who editors are and what their interests are helps us manage conflicts of interest. We actually want editors to publicly disclose to us that they work for Big Corp., or that they wrote the article that they've been citing, or that their family members are running for political office.

If you dislike the user page, but you don't think it would be absolutely, incontestably uncontroversial to delete it without any discussion, use Miscellany for deletion instead.

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

Parameters
