This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G3. 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 hoaxes.

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

{{db-g3}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-g3|bot=ExampleBot}}

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