Template:Delete

The below is the template. Do not delete this page; delete only the pages it's used on.

This template has been nominated for deletion. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page. Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: No reason given. PLEASE give a reason, or this item will end up in Category:Incomplete deletion requests.

Show further instructions 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=Template:Delete|reason=}} ~~~~ 2 Go to the deletion requests log and place the following code at the bottom: {{subst:delete3|pg=Template:Delete}} 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|Template:Delete}} ~~~~ 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=December|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}}. In other languages

Usage

{{Delete
 |reason  =
 |subpage =
 |day     =
 |month   =
 |year    =
}}

Note: The easiest way to nominate individual images for deletion is to click the "Nominate for deletion" link in the side bar. There's no need to fill this out manually.

• do not "subst" this template
• do not delete this template, delete the pages and files that embed it

day, month, and year — the current day of the month, month as a word in English only, and four-digit year, such as 1, January, and 2000, or for today:

{{Delete
 |reason  = 
 |subpage = 
 |day     = 21
 |month   = December
 |year    = 2024
}}

You only need to fill out the "subpage" parameter if you create the deletion request at a different subpage of Commons:Deletion requests than the image name. For example, if you nominate Image:Foo.jpg for deletion, and you create the subpage Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Foo.jpg, then you don't need to fill out the parameter. But if you nominate that image as part of a mass nomination, you will have to fill it out. For example you nominate all the images uploaded by a particular user for deletion. Then instead of creating 50 different subpage, you create just one, Commons:Deletion requests/Images uploaded by User XYZ, and then on all of the relevant images, you put this template with the parameter subpage=Images uploaded by User XYZ.
