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#G7|CSD G7]].  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 by user|Candidates for speedy deletion by user]].

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

===Parameters===
{{tlc|db-g7}}

:This is the most basic form of the template.

{{tlc|db-g7|2=bot=ExampleBot}}

:[[WP:BOT|Bot accounts]] will specify the {{para|bot}} parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.
{{tlc|db-g7|2=rationale=''DeletionRationale''}}

:Where ''DeletionRationale'' is a specific explanation of why the page should be deleted, which will be displayed in red after the standard text.  A rationale ''must'' be provided to delete user talk pages.

===CSS and Javascript pages===
To request the deletion of a [[CSS]] or [[JavaScript]] page – a non-talk page whose name ends with '''.css''' or '''.js''' – use the following format: <syntaxhighlight lang=javascript>/* {{db-g7}} */</syntaxhighlight> The deletion message will not be displayed, but the page will be categorised into {{cl|Candidates for speedy deletion by user}}, where an administrator will be able to find it.

===Lua modules===
To request the deletion of a [[WP:Lua|Lua module]] – a non-talk page whose name starts with '''Module:''' – use the following format:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">require('Module:Module wikitext')._addText('{{db-g7}}')</syntaxhighlight>
