I.

Add {{delete|REASON FOR DELETION}} tag:

  • Add the following code to the top of the image, category or article page. Replace REASON FOR DELETION with your rationale on why it should be deleted.
  • If you are nominating many images in a series, write {{delete|reason|subpage}};[1] The full syntax is {{delete |reason= |subpage= |day= |month= |year= }}.
{{delete|REASON FOR DELETION}}
II.

Create a subpage of Deletion Request:

Manually create a subpage of deletion requests and post your deletion request there,
  • Subpage: Commons:Deletion requests/File:FILE-NAME.JPG
  • Deletion Request: {{subst:delete2|image=File:FILE-NAME.JPG|reason=WRITE REASON --~~~~}}
OR follow the procedure below
  • Enter the name of the file that you wish to nominate for deletion, click on "Create the subpage", and simply follow the instructions given there.
  • On an image page (on which you've added the {{delete}} template), you should have the "add the request page" link. Click on that link, and simply follow the instructions given there.

III.

Add the link of sub-page in "Deletion Request Log":

After you are done with that you have to add the newly created subpage to Commons:Deletion requests/2018/09/08. The log is sorted by every date; if there are already the other requests there, add your line at the bottom without erasing the existing requests. Remember to save the page.
Add the following code:
"FILE-NAME.JPG" is the name of the file you have tagged.

{{Commons:Deletion requests/File:FILE-NAME.JPG}}
IV.

Notify the file uploader/page creator with {{idw}} tag:

  • Notify the uploader on their talk page. Use the notify text given after adding the delete template.
  • "FILE-NAME.JPG" is the name of the file you have tagged.
{{subst:idw|File:FILE-NAME.JPG}} ~~~~
  1. For example, add {{delete|All photos of User:Mike are suspected copyvios|Images of Mike}} to all images in this series.
