This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G5. 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 having been created by blocked or banned users.

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

{{db-g5}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-g5|bot=ExampleBot}}

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

{{db-g5|Example}}

This will specify the name of the sockpuppeteer.
