The page [[:{{{1}}}]] has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or 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.

Usage
If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the warning is a 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:db-repost-deleted|PageName}}
Where PageName is the name of the page that has been speedily deleted.
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 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 that has been speedily deleted. 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:db-repost-deleted|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}
- No header
{{subst:db-repost-deleted|PageName|header=no}}
- Using a custom header
{{subst:db-repost-deleted|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}
- No welcome message and a custom header
{{subst:db-repost-deleted|PageName|nowelcome=yes|header-text=Custom header text}}
