As you know, the Criteria for speedy deletion specifies the limited cases where administrators may delete Wikipedia pages or media without discussion. But you may be wondering, what exactly does it all mean? Let me break down the common ones section by section and explain what it all means where explanation is needed. Note, when we say "speedy" we mean it as in, it's kinda like an express lane for getting inappropriate and unwanted content off Wikipedia without delving into slightly complex systems like WP:AFD.
