{{db-multi}}

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under more than one of the speedy deletion criteria There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right. Only codes with "Yes" in the Supported column are supported by this template.

This template should be used when 2 or more speedy reasons both apply: for example a page may be both a copyright violation and blatant promotion, or both about a person with no asserted significance and an attack page. Listing both reasons avoids an editor going to trouble to fix one problem only to find the result re-tagged for speedy deletion for another reason. It also makes the scope of the problem clearer to the reviewing admin, who must consider whether to delete.

This template places the page in the category Candidates for speedy deletion, and in other specific categories depending on the particular criteria specified.
