See the deletion log for all deleted pages.

This category contains pages tagged with speedy deletion templates. Before speedily deleting a page, take the time to ensure that it meets the criteria for speedy deletion, check the links, the history, and for images the file links. If there is any doubt at all, switch the article to a process like Wikipedia:Proposed deletion that allows time for others to review the proposal.

Attack pages: When deleting attack pages, it is important that you don't quote any of the content in your deletion summary. In some cases, MediaWiki will offer a prefilled deletion summary that includes some of the content being deleted; make sure you replace the summary with something more appropriate (such as "[[WP:CSD#G10]] - Attack page") before clicking the delete button. Once added to the log, only an oversighter or a developer can remove the log from public view.

[edit] Pages detected by the abuse filter

The edit filter can detect certain pages that may meet criteria for speedy deletion and tag those edits in recent changes:

[edit] Pages in which the speedy-deletion tag may have been improperly removed

Pages which have a recent history of improper removal of speedy-deletion tags can be put here so they are not forgotten about. Remove them from this list if the speedy is removed by a responsible editor or if they are stale.
