This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G8. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categoryies Candidates for speedy deletion and Candidates for speedy deletion as dependent on a non-existent page.

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

{{db-g8}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-g8|bot=ExampleBot}}

Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

{{db-g8|rationale=DeletionRationale}}

{{db-g8|~~~~~}}

If the current date is passed to the template using five tildes, the template will incorporate a delay, and only list the page in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion after seven days. Consider doing this if the talk page has been recently edited, as there may be useful discussions ongoing there.
