Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that the page [[:{{{1}}}]] has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consisted only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Db-nocontent-deleted}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |

Usage
If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the warning is a 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-nocontent-deleted|PageName}}
Where PageName is the name of the page that has been speedily deleted.
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 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 that has been speedily deleted. 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-nocontent-deleted|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}
- No header
{{subst:db-nocontent-deleted|PageName|header=no}}
- Using a custom header
{{subst:db-nocontent-deleted|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and a custom header
{{subst:db-nocontent-deleted|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header-text=Custom header text}}
