|text = This article was tagged for speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#{{{1}}}|section {{{1}}} of the criteria for speedy deletion]] but the reviewing administrator declined the request
Rationale
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.
Suggested edit summary: {{oldcsd}}: The CSD tag placed on this article has been declined by an admin; this article should not be tagged again under the same criterion
