There must be an obvious reason for its deletion. If the reason for deletion is not obvious, you must use {{template|prod}} instead.

This documentation is imported from Template:Spam/doc

This template is for speedy deletion of pages that are spam. It places pages into Category:Speedy Delete.

This template must only be used for pages which are entirely spam - such as advertising or nonsense/gibberish.

Alternative speedy deletion templates include {{vandal}} and {{relevance}}.

If there is any possible doubt or disagreement, you must use {{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:

{{spam}}

If it's not obvious, or if someone might disagree, you must use {{delete}} instead.
