Template:Delete/doc
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
Usage
{{delete}} creates an information box telling the user that the page is proposed for deletion. The box will show at the position on the page where you put the template and stretch horizontally to fill the width of the available space, and vertically depending on how many rows of text are needed.
To flag a page for deletion, add the template to the top of the page. The page will automatically be added to the category Category:Delete.

Required parameter
1
- Reason for deletion
This parameter is used to provide an explanation and a motivation for why the page should be deleted. Give a good description of the circumstances. It is unnamed, so no parameter name needs to be entered.
The text you enter will be prefixed by the string "This page is proposed for deletion: ".
- Usage

{{delete|1}}
Optional parameters
date
- Date of reporting
You can add the date of your report by using this parameter.
- Note
- Use a date format that can be understood across cultures, languages and borders, i.e. either by using the ISO standard (YYYY-MM-DD), or by giving the name of the month in full or as an abbreviation (e.g. 24 Aug, 2014).
- Usage
-
{{delete|1|date=date value}}
section
- Changes the words "page" and "article" to "section"
If you want to propose only a section of the page to be deleted, use this parameter.
Any value you specify will be interpreted as "true", and invoke the parameter; i.e. |section=yes will yield the same result as |section=haggis.

{{delete|1|section=yes}}
