Silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

A method for developing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprising bringing an imagewise exposed silver halide photographic light-sensitive material into contact with a developer, wherein

• said light-sensitive material comprises a support, bearing on the same side thereof a silver halide emulsion layer and optionally a hydrophilic colloid layer, at least one of said silver halide emulsion layer and said hydrophilic colloid layer containing a hydrazine derivative in a form of dispersed solid particles, and at least one of said silver halide emulsion layer and said hydrophilic colloid layer containing nucleation accelerator represented by Formula 1,
• said developer containing no compound represented by Formula 1 and having a pH less than 11.0;
• ##STR27## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are independently a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl-group or an aryl group, R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are not a hydrogen atom at the same time and two of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 may link to form a ring, and at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is a group having a heterocyclic group,
• a mercapto group, an alkylene oxide group, an --S-- linkage, a ##STR28## group, or a ##STR29## group.
