Usage

Only administrators can delete pages. Other users should instead use this template to propose a page for deletion. It can also be used to propose one section of a larger page for deletion.

You should cite a brief reason in the first argument, and can expand in the article's discussion page. Don't clear the page's content except where it's obviously spam.

{{Delete|Reason.}}

Users are welcome to argue against deletion. You can override the default discussion page with a second argument to the template:

{{Delete|Reason.|Talk:Alternative Page}}

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Delete.

Example

{{Delete|Message.}}

will produce:
