Usage

{{Delete|Reason for being a candidate for deletion}}

Use this template responsibly.

Please follow these guidelines to not jam the delete queue:

• Don't mark pages in the User: namespace for being useless.
• Don't mark pages in the SNCA namespace for being unrelated to soyjaks or the 'sphere.
• If the only significant problem with the page is that its subject is off topic/unrelated to 'jakking, move it into the SNCA namespace.
• If the content belongs on this site but doesn't warrant its own article, use {{Merge to}} instead.
• Don't put this on unused files unless you can't find a relevant page to add them to. This also applies to unused templates, though you can mark them for deletion if they're redundant/obsolete.

If the page can be fixed into a viable article, try to do that (or use {{MultipleIssues}}) before considering deletion.

Save this template for pages that are fundamentally bad and are either completely irrelevant, abandoned gigastubs, or violate the manual of style to an offensive degree, though for the latter you could just entirely rewrite the article without having to wait for a janny to delete it first.
