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. However, remember to [[SW:AGF|assume good faith]] before adding a speedy-delete template. | Found a blank page? A duplicate? A misspelling? A page filled with nonsense?

IMPORTANT: When speedily deleting a redirect, the redirect should be broken by placing the tag in front of the redirect as follows: | |||
'''<code><nowiki>{{d|Placed in front of redirect}}</nowiki><br><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Page]]</nowiki></code>''' | |||
Failure to do this will result in a responding administrator being redirected to the page that's supposed to be kept, and potentially deleting that one by mistake. | |||
