Template Documentation [edit source| uses| help]

When a page is not significant enough to be a standalone article, or when the information on it is no longer relevant, a page may be proposed for deletion. In that case, use this template to mark it. This will automatically categorise it under the list of deletion candidates. The notice includes a link to the page's talk page, where editors can weigh in on the proposal, bringing arguments for and against its deletion.

✖︎︎

This article is a deletion candidate. Further information may be found on the related discussion page.

Usage

Include the template along with a reason for the deletion on the page you want to propose for deletion:

{{delete|reason=This page is about space monkeys, not about NixOS.}}

✖︎︎

This article is a deletion candidate. This page is about space monkeys, not about NixOS. Further information may be found on the related discussion page.
