Usage

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

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

day, month, and year — the current day of the month, month as a word in English only, and four-digit year, such as 1, January, and 2000, or for today:

{{Delete
 |reason  = 
 |subpage = 
 |day     = 30
 |month   = January
 |year    = 2022
}}

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.
