Template:Repost

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on an article you created, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how {{{1}}} is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on [[Talk:{{{1}}}]] saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please feel free to use deletion review, but do not continue to repost the article if it is deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.

Template usage notes See documentation. Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. test5 optionally takes two parameters: The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided). The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending. Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Repost}} rather than {{Repost}}.
