'''~~This~~ page ~~has been marked for deletion~~.

~~'''Reason:''' {{{1|No reason has been given for why it should be deleted~~.~~}}}~~<br />

==Placement==

For articles needing major clean-up, place at the top of the main page to alert readers.<br>

For articles needing minor clean-up, place at the top of the talk page to alert editors.

~~<small>'''''Administrators''': check [[Special:Whatlinkshere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|links]], [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action~~=~~history}} history] ([{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|diff~~=~~0}} last]), and [{{fullurl:Special:Log|page~~=~~{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}} logs] before [{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action~~=~~delete}} deletion]~~. ~~Consider checking [http://www~~.~~google.com/search?q=%22~~{{~~urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}~~}}~~%22 Google].''~~</~~small~~>

==Usage==

~~<includeonly>[[Category:Pages marked for deletion]]~~</~~includeonly>~~

You can optionally use the first parameter to change the word "article" (e.g. <code><nowiki>{{Cleanup|section}}</nowiki></code>).

~~----<noinclude~~>

~~How~~ to ~~use:~~

Add a new item to the talk page explaining the type and extent of clean-up required so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.

<~~nowiki~~>~~{{Delete~~|~~Reason}}~~<~~/nowiki~~>

==Alternative==

</~~noinclude~~>

If the problem is correctable with the skills you already possess, consider being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold bold] and fixing it yourself, rather than applying this tag and leaving it for someone else to clean up.

==Notes==

*This template will add tagged articles to [[:Category:Articles needing cleanup]]

*This [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]].

*Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.
