Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an attempt to contact the subject named by the article. If you are trying to contact a Wikipedia user, you can do so by posting a message on their user talk page. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:User:Passengerpigeon/db-contact-notice}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |

Usage
If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the notice is new user), the template automatically includes a {{first article}} welcome message. This welcome can be turned off with the |nowelcome= parameter as described below.
Basic usage
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName}}
Where PageName is the name of the page that has been tagged for speedy deletion.
Parameters
|nowelcome=- If this parameter exists, then the {{first article}} welcome message is not included, even if the page the notice is being placed on did not previously exist.
|header=- by default, the template adds a level two section header of "Speedy deletion nomination of PageName". To suppress the header, use
|header=no. |header-text=- a custom value for the header text.
|demo=- if you are demonstrating the template's functionality, transclude the template rather than substitute it, and use
|demo=yes. This will prevent the template from being automatically substituted by a bot. |namespace=- this is the namespace of the page tagged for speedy deletion. For example, if the page is in the "Wikipedia" namespace then the value would be
Wikipedia. It is not necessary to specify this parameter if the namespace is already included in the page name. If the page is in the main article namespace then this parameter should be omitted.
Examples
- No welcome message
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}
- No header
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName|header=no}}
- Using a custom header
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and a custom header
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and no header
{{subst:passengerpigeon|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header=no}}
