Template:Delete
Usage Note
Add this template to any page on Meta for which you're requesting an administrator to delete, either by adding it to the very top of the page (preferred) or by replacing the existing content with this template (also acceptable) following the format prescribed below.
{{Delete|1=Your deletion reason}}
Replace your deletion reason with one of the commonly accepted reasons for deletion below, or describe concisely why you are requesting deletion.
If you do not specify a reason in parameter 1=, no deletion reason will be inserted, and your request may be declined if it is not apparent why deletion is being requested.
