Did you make a typo in the title of your new article? Upload an image under the wrong file name? If so, your article may be a candidate for Speedy Deletion.

{{Speedydeletion}} is used for reasons of technical deficiency only. This is mostly limited to typos in the page title or file name, images with names like "optimus.jpg" or "2957201.jpg", and images that have been replaced with one of a different file type.

The other pages that qualify for speedy deletion are sandbox pages. In this case, only the account owner can request speedy deletion. Speedy deletion allows TFWiki admins to clear out the contents of periodically without spending hours rooting out which files/pages actually need deleting from the ones where there is debate on the matter.

Basically, if human judgment enters into the issue at all, or if there is any chance for disagreement, the {{tobedeleted}} or {{delete}} templates should be used instead.
