Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as copyright violations

If this category has 50 items or more, it will be reported as an administrative backlog. (recount)

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty! This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

This is a maintenance category, used for maintenance of the Wikipedia project. It is not part of the encyclopedia and contains non-article pages, or groups articles by status rather than subject. Do not include this category in content categories. This is a tracking category. It builds and maintains a list of pages primarily for the sake of the list itself. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme. This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set. These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience. These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Always remember to check "What links here" and the page's history before deleting.

If this page has been recently modified, it may not reflect the most recent changes. Please purge this page to view the most recent changes.

This category (a subcategory of CAT:CSD) tracks pages that have been nominated for speedy deletion under CSD G12 or CSD F9, as unambiguous copyright violations with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license and where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. To list pages in this category, tag them with the templates {{db-g12}} or {{db-f9}}. If there is any doubt about the suitability of a page for speedy deletion, consider sending it to XfD instead. Please be careful when marking a page as a copyright violation. This category is for pages or images whose original forms were copyright infringements. If the page only recently experienced copyright problems, please consider simply reverting those changes. If the page does not consist of an obvious or verbatim copyright violation, please consider using {{copyvio}} instead so that it may undergo further review. You can warn copyvio page creators using one of the following templates:

{{subst:nothanks|Article name}}

{{subst:nothanks-sd|pg=Article name|url=http://sitename}}

{{subst:nothanks-web|pg=Article name|url=http://sitename}}

If you block or ban a user for (re)creation of content that is restricted by copyright, please list the pages in question in HTML comments (i.e. between <!-- and --> markers) to aid unblock review.
