When saving the page, ensure that the edit summary states that you have proposed deletion. You may also wish to post further information on the page's talk page.

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