This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD U3. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the category: Candidates for speedy deletion.

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

{{db-u3}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-u3|bot=ExampleBot}}

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