This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD F9. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.
This template places the page into the categories: Candidates for speedy deletion, and Candidates for speedy deletion as copyright violations.
Usage
The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.
Parameters
((db-f9))
- This is the most basic form of the template.
((db-f9|bot=ExampleBot))
- Bot accounts will specify the
|bot=parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.
((db-f9|url=URL))
- Where URL is the complete URL of the webpage from which the image appears to have been copied
((db-f9|1=Deletion Rationale))
- Where Deletion Rationale is a specific explanation of why the page should be deleted. A rationale must be provided to delete files copied from a source other than a website.
Author notification
If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:
((subst:db-imgcopyvio-notice|PageName|URL|header=1))
...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion, and URL with the URL from which the material was plagiarised. This will display the following user warning template:
A tag has been placed on [[:(({1))}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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.
