Deletion was what the Cybermen of Pete's World termed the killing of all those they deemed incompatible for the upgrade to cyber-form. The primary instruments of deletion were the hands of the cyber-suits, which were capable of transmitting a fatal electric shock to humans, (TV: Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel) and projectile weaponry such as cyber wrist blaster or energy blasters. (TV: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday) In N-Space, Cybermen of N-Space used eradication. (TV: Silver Nemesis)
Deletion was similar to the creed of extermination followed by the Daleks, who the Cybermen engaged during the Battle of Canary Wharf. (TV: Doomsday)
History
In Pete's World, the first known victim of deletion was Dr Kendrick, a scientist in the employ of John Lumic, CEO of Cybus Industries and inventor of the Cybermen, that oversaw the creation and testing of the prototype Cyberman in 2007. When Kendrick informed Lumic that Geneva needed to be informed of its creation Lumic gave his first Cyberman the order to kill him, which it promptly carried out.
Following the orders of John Lumic, a group of newly upgrade Cybermen "crash[ed]" the 40th birthday party of Jackie Tyler where he, speaking from Cybus, introduced them to the assembled guests, among them the President of Great Britain, before leaving the party in the "care" of the Cybermen. When the President refused the compulsory upgrade program, the Cybermen deemed him to be incompatible and so used their electrified hands to "delete" him and majority of the party guests. While Pete Tyler escaped with the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler of N-Space, Jackie was captured and upgraded into a Cyberman. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen)
Mr Crane, originally Lumic's subordinate, was killed by the Cybermen for making an attempt on Lumic's life. Elsewhere in London, Ricky Smith and Angela Price of the Preachers were seperately killed by the Cybermen. (TV: The Age of Steel)
