An administrator or content moderator will evaluate a speedy deletion candidate to confirm whether the article meets one or more criteria for speedy deletion, and then either delete the article or remove the Speedydelete tag if the article does not meet any speedy deletion criteria (possibly replacing {{t|Speedydelete}} with a regular {{t|Delete}} tag instead). Administrators and content moderators are given leeway in determining whether a particular article meets speedy deletion criteria, but if there is doubt as to whether an article qualifies for speedy deletion, should err on the side of ''not'' speedily deleting an article.
