 This template is for '''speedy deletion''' of pages that are spam. It places pages into [[:Category:Speedy Delete]].
-This template must '''only''' be used where the reason for deletion is very obvious - for example: spam, advertising, irrelevant content or anything that isn't an article.
+This template must '''only''' be used for pages which are entirely spam - such as advertising or nonsense/gibberish.
-If there is any possible doubt or disagreement for whether the page should be deleted, you must use {{template|delete}} instead. This could include duplicate articles, legitimate subjects that don't need their own page, or unused templates/images/categories.
+Alternative speedy deletion templates include {{template|vandal}} and {{template|relevance}}.
+If there is '''any possible doubt''' or disagreement, you must use {{template|delete}} instead. This could include: duplicate pages; legitimate subjects that don't need their own page; unused templates/images/categories; or just something which shouldn't be there.
 The deletion reason must be obvious, so just use:
 <pre>{{delete}}</pre>
+If it's not obvious, or if someone might disagree, you must use {{template|delete}} instead.
-However, this template ''can'' be used with a reason if required. If it's not obvious, or if someone might disagree, you must use {{template|delete}} instead.
-<pre>{{spam|This is spam}}</pre>
