A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by [[:{{{1}}}|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Db-significance-notice}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |

This is a generic template for articles that fall under A7. Normally a more specific notice should be used, depending on the type of article being nominated. For articles about real people, use {{db-bio-notice}}; for articles about musicians and musical ensembles, use {{db-band-notice}}; for articles about companies and organizations, use {{db-inc-notice}}; for articles about websites and web content, use {{db-web-notice}}; and for articles about individual animals, use {{db-animal-notice}}.
Usage
If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the notice is new user), the template automatically includes a {{first article}} welcome message. This welcome can be turned off with the |nowelcome= parameter as described below.
Basic usage
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName}}
Where PageName is the name of the page that has been tagged for speedy deletion.
Parameters
|nowelcome=- If this parameter exists, then the {{first article}} welcome message is not included, even if the page the notice is being placed on did not previously exist.
|header=- by default, the template adds a level two section header of "Speedy deletion nomination of PageName". To suppress the header, use
|header=no. |header-text=- a custom value for the header text.
|demo=- if you are demonstrating the template's functionality, transclude the template rather than substitute it, and use
|demo=yes. This will prevent the template from being automatically substituted by a bot. |namespace=- this is the namespace of the page tagged for speedy deletion. For example, if the page is in the "Wikipedia" namespace then the value would be
Wikipedia. It is not necessary to specify this parameter if the namespace is already included in the page name. If the page is in the main article namespace then this parameter should be omitted.
Examples
- No welcome message
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}
- No header
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName|header=no}}
- Using a custom header
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and a custom header
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and no header
{{subst:db-significance-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header=no}}
