Note: The above is the template. Do not delete this page; delete only the pages it's used on. It says "template" because of the embedded logic, it will correctly say "media file" when used on image description pages.

How to use this template

Note: The easiest way to nominate individual images for deletion is to click the "Nominate for deletion" link in the side bar. There's no need to fill this out manually.

• do not "subst" this template
• do not delete this template, delete the pages and files that embed it
• use the following code on the image or page you think should be deleted:

{{Delete
|reason=
|subpage=
|day=
|month=
|year=
}}

 

• reason — the explanation for why the page referencing this template needs to be deleted.
• subpage — the subpage of Commons:Deletion requests on which the image nominated for deletion is listed (see below for explanation)
• day, month, and year — the current day of the month, month as a word in English, and four-digit year, such as 1, January, and 2000, or for today:

{{Delete
|reason=
|subpage=
|day=11
|month=May
|year=2017
}}

The reason is mandatory. You only need to fill out the "subpage" parameter if you create the deletion request at a different subpage of Commons:Deletion requests than the image name. For example, if you nominate Image:Foo.jpg for deletion, and you create the subpage Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Foo.jpg, then you don't need to fill out the parameter. But if you nominate that image as part of a mass nomination, you will have to fill it out. For example you nominate all the images uploaded by a particular user for deletion. Then instead of creating 50 different subpage, you create just one, Commons:Deletion requests/Images uploaded by User XYZ, and then on all of the relevant images, you put this template with the parameter subpage=Images uploaded by User XYZ.
