Please use a more specific template - {{db-person}}, {{db-animal}}, {{db-band}}, {{db-club}}, {{db-inc}}, {{db-web}}, or {{db-event}} where possible.Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion. Please confirm before deletion that the page doesn't seem to be intended as the author's userpage. If it does, please move it to the proper location instead. Please also note that this tag will occasionally be used in place of the tags for criteria CSD A9 (musical recordings) and A11 (WP:MADEUP), as both of these also refer to lack of importance/significance.

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.Notes
