Category:Contested candidates for speedy deletion

This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set.

This is a subset of Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, consisting solely of those pages on which {{hang on}} has been inserted in response to the page being listed for speedy deletion. The purpose of this page is not to fundamentally change the speedy deletion process, but simply to help prevent a situation where a page is deleted while someone is in the middle of writing an explanation of why they believe it should not be, as per the instructions given in {{db}} and other templates.
