Template:Proposed deletion

Instructions for {{Proposed deletion}}

{{Proposed deletion}}, also known as {{delete}}, is a template that allows you flag an article for deletion. Aside from producing an easy-to-read "tophat" on an article that passers-by can see, it puts the page into category:proposed deletions that admin patrol.

Usage

To use, place the following at the top of the offending page:

{{proposed deletion|reason for deletion}}

or the shorter

{{delete|reason for deletion}}

Replace "reason for deletion" with your reason you are proposing the page be deleted. If you fail to give a reason, the template will automatically give you a warning that you have forgotten to do so. Place the tag at the top of the page. Additionally please do not delete all the content from the page.

Relevant policy

Use of this template is largely regulated by our deletion policy.
