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.
