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#A7|CSD A7]].  There is a separate template for each criterion &ndash; see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categories: [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]], and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as importance or significance not asserted|Candidates for speedy deletion as importance or significance not asserted]].

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

===Parameters===
<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-a7<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:This is the most basic form of the template.

<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-a7<nowiki>|bot=ExampleBot</nowiki><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.

<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-a7<nowiki>|</nowiki>''TypeOfEntity''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:Where ''TypeOfEntity'' is the type of subject the article is about (band, company, website, etc).  Please ensure that the entity is one of those listed in the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|CSD criterion]], and consider instead using one of the more specific templates listed [[#See also|below]]. Note that books, albums, software etc., or [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools/Criteria for Speedy Deletion A7|schools]], are specifically not allowed under this criterion.

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

{{tlsp|nn-warn|2=''PageName''<nowiki>|</nowiki>header=1}}

...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.  This will display the following [[Wikipedia:User warning templates|user warning template]]:

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

== Notes ==
''Please consider using one of these more specific templates:''
*{{tl|db-person}} for articles about real people
*{{tl|db-band}} for articles about bands, singers, musicians, or musical groups
*{{tl|db-club}} for articles about clubs or groups
*{{tl|db-inc}} for articles about companies, corporations or organisations
*{{tl|db-web}} for articles about websites, blogs, forums, or other web content
*{{tl|db-animal}} for articles about individual animals such as pets
