Usage[edit]
Place the following text at the top of the article being proposed for deletion.
{{subst:proposed deletion|concern=concern}}
Make sure to replace concern with a brief rationale why the page is being proposed for deletion. The template must be substituted, i.e. subst: must be used, otherwise an error will appear. When posted correctly, an emphatic 'proposed for deletion' notice will appear at the top of the page.
When saving the page, ensure that the edit summary states that you have proposed deletion. You may also wish to post further information on the article's talk page.
Extended syntax[edit]
