User:Schminnte/Notes on CSD

On the English Wikipedia, the criteria for speedy deletion (commonly shortened to CSD) specify when a page may be deleted by an administrator without a prior deletion discussion. As these deletions bypass Wikipedia's usual system of deletion discussions, the criteria are naturally very strict. The following tables are a collection of notes collected from my time researching CSD and tagging pages, with the hope that they will serve others some use.
