Usage
- This template may be used only in accordance with MeritBadgeDotOrg's guide to deletion.

Applying this template
Two easy steps:
- Step 1. Apply the {{Delete}} template at the top of the actual page you are nominating for deletion.
- Note: Remember to make use of your edit summary... plainly state you applied the {{Delete}} template.
- Step 2. State your request and reasons on the associated talk page. Make sure you apply a level 1 heading (see Help:Editing) titled Request for deletion at the top of your request.
- Note: Again, make use of your edit summary... plainly state you are nominating the associated article for deletion (and briefly state why).
- — If (for some odd reason) you need to nominate a talk page for deletion, simply apply steps 1 & 2 on the talk page itself. (Don't forget your edit summary.)
Removing this template

Examples
Step 1. At the top of article foo, insert:
{{Delete}}
Step 2. Over on talk page for article foo, amend (at the bottom) as follows:
==Request for deletion== I nominate article foo for deletion because it is redundant, not to mention nearly gibberish. ~~~~
