This page provides an overview of Misplaced Pages's ''speedy deletion'' process, by which administrators may delete pages immediately. For more information, please read our ].

== Requesting speedy deletion ==
}}

;Before making a speedy deletion request, please read our ]. Administrators will deny requests that do not fulfill the criteria.

For pages that need deletion, edit the page and add the appropriate speedy deletion template (depending on which of the speedy deletion criteria the page satisfies) to the top. For a full list, see ]. If you wish to explain the reason for the request in detail, add <nowiki>{{deletebecause|</nowiki>''Reason for deletion''}} or <nowiki>{{db|</nowiki>''Reason for deletion''}}. You should '''not''' wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history.

For articles that do not meet the ], please use ] (for deletions likely to meet no opposition) or ] (for potentially controversial deletions). If a page is already listed in Articles for Deletion or a candidate for proposed deletion, do not tag it for speedy deletion unless it clearly satisfies the speedy deletion criteria.

== Appealing speedy deletions ==

If you object to, and wish to appeal any administrator's deletion of a page because it was based on the ], leave a polite notice on their user talk page. If they refuse to restore the page, you may list the page for ]. (You can find out who deleted a page by editing the deleted page, then selecting the "deletion log" link.)

== Advice for administrators ==

* Review our ].
* Use ''']''' for a list of pages.
* Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on ].
* If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.
* Don't worry too much &mdash; new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
