This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]], specifically [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A2|CSD A2]].  There is a separate template for each criterion &ndash; see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the category&#058; [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]] and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as existing on foreign Wikimedia projects]].

== Usage ==
The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

===Parameters===
<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-a2|source=''SourceProject:SourcePageName''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:Where "SourceProject" is the project or language code and ''SourcePageName'' is the name of the page from which the content was taken..

<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-a2<nowiki>|bot=ExampleBot</nowiki>|source=''SourceProject:SourcePageName''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:[[WP:BOT|Bot accounts]] will specify the <code><nowiki>|bot=</nowiki></code> parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

== Author notification ==
If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

{{tlsp|foreign-warn|2=''PageName''<nowiki>|</nowiki>header=1<nowiki>|source=</nowiki>''SourceProject:SourcePageName''}}

...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing ''PageName'' with the name of the page being marked for deletion, ''SourceProject'' with the project or language code and ''SourcePageName'' with the name of the page from which the content was taken.  This will display the following [[Wikipedia:User warning templates|user warning template]]:

<div style="background:white; border:thin forestgreen;">{{foreign-warn|demo=yes}}</div>
