Template:Oldcsd

This article was tagged for speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#{{{1}}}|section {{{1}}} of the criteria for speedy deletion]] but a reviewing administrator or uninvolved experienced editor declined the request. This article should not be tagged again for speedy deletion under the same criterion and, unless a valid, separate speedy deletion basis exists, further attempts at deleting this article should be made via the proposed deletion process (prod) if uncontroversial, or the article taken to articles for deletion (AfD) for debate on the merits. Note: this template should be removed once the associated article has survived an AfD debate; or has been significantly changed such that further speedy deletion requests are unlikely.

Once an administrator or uninvolved experienced editor has declined a CSD tagging, an article should not again be tagged for speedy deletion—at least not under the same criterion, which is considered "admin shopping" if intentionally done to circumvent the first decline by seeking a second admin who may be willing, where the first was not. This template thus attempts to inform both taggers and admins of a decline under a specific speedy deletion criterion and (optionally), the reason therefor. Because many CSD taggers will have the tagged article on their watchlist after their initial tagging, and is the most likely person to re-tag an article, the edit summary used when placing this template is very important.
