Template:Proposed deletion is used to tag articles and files for proposed deletion where it is believed that the deletion would be uncontroversial. It adds articles to the appropriate subcategory of Category:Proposed deletion, which is currently Category:Proposed deletion as of 9 May 2025 (you can click here to reset the cache if that isn't today's date). If consensus would need to be reached first, then the articles for deletion or files for discussion process is probably more appropriate. You may also wish to check to see if the page meets the criteria for speedy deletion as well.

If this template is removed from the page and the removal was not vandalism, then do not replace it. See WP:CONTESTED for more information.

Once saved and substituted, this template will have been replaced with either {{Proposed deletion/dated}} or {{Proposed deletion/dated files}}. These helper templates should not be used directly.
