If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
- 1 Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:
{{
subst:
delete2|image=Gallery pages|reason=Unnecessary directory of gallery page categories, since you browse Commons categories more often than galleries.}} ~~~~
- 2 Go to the deletion requests log and place the following code at the bottom:
{{subst:delete3|pg=Gallery pages}}
- 3 Notify the item's uploader or the creator of the page by placing the following code on the user's talk page:
{{subst:idw|Gallery pages|Gallery pages}} ~~~~
- 4 Additionally, you may want to check for Wikimedia projects that use this item and then remove or, if possible, replace with a superior item.
For mass deletions: If you want to nominate several related images, please make a mass request by manually adding {{delete|reason=write reason|subpage=write name|year=2024|month=November|day=21}} to each image page and then following the steps hereinbefore. (Help on mass requests.)
Note: This template is for requests that may require discussion in order to be deleted. For speedy deletions, you can use {{speedydelete|reason}}.
