This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G15. 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 as unreviewed LLM-generated content.
Usage
[edit]The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.
Parameters
[edit]{{db-g15}}
- This is the most basic form of the template.
{{db-g15|bot=ExampleBot}}
- Bot accounts will specify the
|bot=parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.
{{db-g15|communication=yes}}
{{db-g15|references=yes}}
- These two parameters customize the message of the template, causing it to display specific issues (respectively, user-intended communication and non-existent or nonsensical references). They can be used together if multiple issues are present.
Author notification
[edit]If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:
{{subst:Db-llm-notice|PageName|header=1}}
...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following user warning template:
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it exhibits one or more of the following signs which indicate that the page could only plausibly have been generated by large language models (LLM) and would have been removed by any reasonable human review:
- Communication intended for the user: This may include collaborative communication (e.g., "Here is your Wikipedia article on..."), knowledge-cutoff disclaimers (e.g., "Up to my last training update ..."), self-insertion (e.g., "as a large language model"), and phrasal templates (e.g., "Smith was born on [Birth Date].")
- Implausible non-existent references: This may include external links that are dead on arrival, ISBNs with invalid checksums, and unresolvable DOIs. Since humans can make typos and links may suffer from link rot, a single example should not be considered definitive. Editors should use additional methods to verify whether a reference truly does not exist.
- Nonsensical citations: This may include citations of incorrect temporality (e.g a source from 2020 being cited for a 2022 event), DOIs that resolve to completely unrelated content (e.g., a paper on a beetle species being cited for a computer science article), and citations that attribute the wrong author or publication.
