Found a blank page? A duplicate? A misspelling? A page filled with nonsense? Try instead using a speedy deletion. Simply type '''<code><nowiki>{{Speedy Delete|reason for speedy deletion}}</nowiki></code>''' or '''<code><nowiki>{{d|reason for speedy deletion}}</nowiki></code>''' on the page and the page will appear in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]].  An administrator will check the page and make a decision without the formal discussion process.
