This template is used to nominate an article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.
Do not use this template directly. Instead, use this code:
{{subst:afd}}
The {{afd}} template will automatically transclude this template once it has been substituted.
Better yet, use Twinkle to nominate articles for deletion, since the nomination process has several other steps as well (creating the deletion discussion page, adding it to the daily log pages, adding it to the deletion sorting pages maintained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting.

[edit]TemplateData for Article for deletion
A helper template to nominate articles for deletion. DO NOT transclude this template directly; instead, use {{subst:afd}}, which fills in the template automatically.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Substituted? | substed | If this value is anything but "yes", the template produces the error message "This template must be substituted. Replace {{afd with {{subst:afd." DO NOT set this parameter manually, as Template:Afd does this automatically instead.
| String | required |
| Article to delete | page | The title of the article being deleted, if not the article that this template is being transcluded on. If not specified, this template defaults to assuming that the page it's on is the one being deleted.
| Page name | suggested |
| Display help? | help | If the value is anything but "off" (or omitted entirely), a message on the steps to nominate an article for deletion is provided.
| String | optional |
| Log date | logdate date | The date for which the AfD discussion page should be added to the corresponding daily AfD log. This must be given in year-month-day format, with the month's name specified. Only used if the help message is shown. If used, the "year", "month", and "day" parameters are not needed.
| String | suggested |
| Year | year | The YEAR in which the article is being nominated for deletion, for the purpose of adding to the AfD daily logpage. Don't use this if you're using the "logdate" parameter.
| Number | suggested |
| Month | month | The MONTH in which the article is being nominated for deletion, for the purpose of adding to the AfD daily logpage. Don't use this if you're using the "logdate" parameter.
| String | suggested |
| Day | day | The DAY in which the article is being nominated for deletion, for the purpose of adding to the AfD daily logpage. Don't use this if you're using the "logdate" parameter.
| Number | suggested |
| Category | category | If specified, this template adds the page to the corresponding category. PLEASE WIKILINK THE CATEGORY NAME, as the template does not work properly if you do not.
| Content | optional |
| Original tag | origtag | The original template that was used to invoke this template. DO NOT SPECIFY THIS PARAMETER MANUALLY! This parameter is usually omitted, but if it is set, it is almost always set to "afd".
