Basic usage[]
{{Delete}}{{Delete|date=February 4, 2016}}
Place the template at the top of the article and ideally include today's date, which makes it readily apparent how long the page has been marked.
The template will place a notice at the top of the page making it obvious the page is a candidate for deletion and it will also add the page to the category Candidates for deletion.
It would also be helpful to create the discussion page if it isn't already, and start a new section to discuss the deletion.
