Experimental
As of 23:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC) and for the next week or so, this template is experimental.

I have announced it in Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  23:41, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I will keep the template around Until at least January 5, 2010. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:49, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Examples
None of the three examples of proper use are for speedyable articles. A copyvio needs a source to be speedied (or else it's just a suspected copyvio). The A7 has a revision with a claim of significance that can be reverted to, and, like the third article, a hoax that's plausible enough that it needs to be checked isn't speedyable vandalism. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 09:37, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I clarified the hoax, but I don't follow on the first two. Claims of significance for a7 have to be credible, once proven false, they are not credible.  I provided a source for the copyvio: In the example, I'm asserting that I read the NYT article and verified the copyvio.  Copyvios of print publications are still db-copyvio.  I probably should change that to a real NYT article though.
 * In any case, if you have a clearer example, please replace the ones I gave. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  13:43, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Shorter wording
I'm not sure whether this test will work or not, and I worry it could be seen as a way to speedy stuff that should go to AFD. But if we are testing it can we go for a shorter wording and thereby a smaller template, and perhaps a white background to make the article less template bombed.

So instead of:

Another editor has reviewed this page's speedy deletion, and endorses both the proposal and the reason given above.

Can we try:

The speedy deletion of this page has been reviewed and endorsed by another editor.

If the test is deemed a success I would like to suggest that we review the templates and aim to make these updates to existing templates rather than adding a whole new box.

 * I like the shorter wording, but the look and feel should be the same as a speedy template. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  17:42, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
