Template:Db-hoax

This template may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax. This only applies to cases where the deception is so obvious as to constitute pure vandalism. Additionally, the mere fact that the page is about a hoax does not, on its own, qualify for speedy deletion. See CSD G3.

If this template does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message.

Note that this template may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient.

Nominator: Please consider placing the template:

{{subst:Db-hoax-notice|Template:Db-hoax|header=1}} ~~~~

on the talk page of the author.
