Template:Db-g15
| This template may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because it exhibits one or more signs which indicate that the page could only have been generated by a large language model (LLM) without reasonable human review. Requester's additional rationale: The nominator did not provide a rationale to support how this page meets the criteria. See CSD G15. 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. Note to administrators: this template has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion.

 | This template uses Lua: |
This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD G15. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.
This template places the page into the category: Candidates for speedy deletion as unreviewed LLM-generated content.
Usage
[edit]The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.
Parameters
[edit]{{db-g15}}
- This is the most basic form of the template.
{{db-g15|bot=ExampleBot}}
- Bot accounts will specify the
|bot=parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.
{{db-g15|communication=yes}}
{{db-g15|references=yes}}
- These two parameters customize the message of the template, causing it to display specific issues (respectively, user-intended communication and non-existent or nonsensical references). They can be used together if multiple issues are present.
{{db-g15|reason=}}
- This parameter allows the nominator to add custom text detailing their reasoning.
Author notification
[edit]If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:
{{subst:Db-llm-notice|PageName|header=1}}
...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following user warning template:

A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G15 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it exhibits one or more of the following signs which indicate that the page could only plausibly have been generated by large language models (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology) and would have been removed by any reasonable human review:
- Communication intended for the user: This may include collaborative communication (e.g., "Here is your Wikipedia article on..."), knowledge-cutoff disclaimers (e.g., "Up to my last training update ..."), self-insertion (e.g., "as a large language model"), and phrasal templates (e.g., "Smith was born on [Birth Date].")
- Implausible non-existent references: This may include external links that are dead on arrival, ISBNs with invalid checksums, and unresolvable DOIs. Since humans can make typos and links may suffer from link rot, a single example should not be considered definitive. Editors should use additional methods to verify whether a reference truly does not exist.
- Nonsensical citations: This may include citations of incorrect temporality (e.g a source from 2020 being cited for a 2022 event), DOIs that resolve to completely unrelated content (e.g., a paper on a beetle species being cited for a computer science article), and citations that attribute the wrong author or publication.
Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. Pages created using them that did not undergo human review may be deleted at any time.
If you think these signs were incorrectly identified and you assert that you did carefully check the content, you may contest the nomination by [[:{{{1}}}|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Additionally – if you would like to create an article but find creating new encyclopedia content yourself difficult, please share this with other editors at the Teahouse, and they may be able to help. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your legitimate contributions.
