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#G8|CSD G8]]. There is a separate template for each criterion &ndash; see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categoryies [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]] and [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as dependent on a non-existent page|Candidates for speedy deletion as dependent on a non-existent page]].

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

===Parameters===
<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-g8<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:This is the most basic form of the template.

<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-g8<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-g8<nowiki>|</nowiki>rationale=''DeletionRationale''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

<kbd><nowiki>{{</nowiki>db-g8<nowiki>|</nowiki><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki><nowiki>}}</nowiki></kbd>

:If the current date is passed to the template using five tildes, the template will incorporate a delay, and only list the page in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] after seven days.  Consider doing this if the talk page has been recently edited, as there may be useful discussions ongoing there.
