This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD T2. 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 Templates for speedy deletion.

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

{{db-t2}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-t2|bot=ExampleBot}}

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