Your contributed article, [[:{{{1}}}]]

Template:Quote box Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, [[:{{{1}}}]]. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – [[:{{{article}}}]]. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:{{{article}}}]]. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at [[Talk:{{{article}}}|the article's talk page]].

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by [[:{{{1}}}|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the Template:Querylink, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.

Template:Speedy deletion notices

This template is used to notify users about pages that have been nominated for speedy deletion. Specifically, it is used for pages that have been nominated under section A10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, "recently created article that duplicates an existing topic". This template is usually used in conjunction with {{db-same}}; for other speedy deletion notification templates see the table to the right.

Usage

This template should be substituted on to the user talk page of the author of the page that has been tagged for speedy deletion.

If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the notice is new user), the template automatically includes a {{first article}} welcome message. This welcome can be turned off with the |nowelcome= parameter as described below.

Basic usage

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName}}

Where PageName is the name of the page that has been tagged for speedy deletion.

Parameters

|nowelcome=
If this parameter exists, then the {{first article}} welcome message is not included, even if the page the notice is being placed on did not previously exist.
|header=
by default, the template adds a level two section header of "Speedy deletion nomination of PageName". To suppress the header, use |header=no.
|header-text=
a custom value for the header text.
|demo=
if you are demonstrating the template's functionality, transclude the template rather than substitute it, and use |demo=yes. This will prevent the template from being automatically substituted by a bot.

Examples

No welcome message

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}

No header

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName|header=no}}

Using a custom header

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}

No welcome message and a custom header

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header-text=Custom header text}}

No welcome message and no header

{{subst:db-a10-notice|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header=no}}
