Use '''<nowiki>{{speedy}}</nowiki>''' or '''<nowiki>{{db|reason}}</nowiki>''' instead of the regular Delete template. It also sorts things into the "Speedy Deletion Candidate" category. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 16:03, 26 January 2008 (EST)

:It's a somewhat formal issue. The delete tag should be used for articles where discussion is encouraged (which is why it offers an AFD link). Vandalism should be speedied.
:Practically, this is triply moot, though:
:#Speedy Deletion Candidates are rarely checked by sysops: The oldest entry in that category was tagged (by me, even) in SEPTEMBER.
:#Regular Deletion Candidates are even less monitored: The (potentially) oldest entry in that category was tagged in JUNE.
:#Deletion discussion - on this site? Har. In the end, it all grinds down to non-binding discussion until some sysop arbitrarily decides to delete it or to declare that the nomination was an attempt at liberal censorship.
:In the end, unless a sysop notices the "DELETE THIS" in the Recent Changes, these things are going to rot either way. But we might as well keep pretending that there is a difference between them. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 16:17, 26 January 2008 (EST)
