Usage
This template is intended to notify asysop that there is junk that very obviously should be removed; it does so by adding the entry toCategory:Candidates for speedy deletion, which is periodically checked by various sysops. If there is any possibility that the entry should maybe be retained for any reason whatsoever, then use{{rfd}} instead. If you think it is nonsense, but theremight be someone who thinks it is a genuine contribution, you are much better off using{{rfd}}.
Do not blank the page before adding this template. When you add it to a page, click on the "What links here" tool to correct any incoming links.
It is generally better to improve a poorly formatted or defined entry than to delete it. If you are unsure what the definition should look like but you are sure it is a valid word, you can replace the incorrect definition with{{rfdef}}.
If you are certain that an entry does not meet ourcriteria for inclusion, you can use this {{delete|}} template to flag the entry.
