This is a step-by-step summary of how to nominate a single page, {{#if: {{{art|}}}|[[{{{art|}}}]],|''ArticleName'',{{efn|<small>'''''ArticleName''''': anyplace you see italics in the instructions, you need to substitute the appropriate text. For example, if you want to delete the article "Underground basket-weaving", then wherever you see ''ArticleName'' you should instead substitute "Underground basket-weaving". But see the boxed instructions at the top for a better way.</small>}}{{efn|<small>'''Nomination name''': The first time a page is nominated for deletion, the ''NominationName'' is the same as ''ArticleName''. After that, it takes on a [[WP:PARENDIS|parenthetical suffix]] to disambiguate it from previous nominations. The second time an article is nominated, it may be called, "''ArticleName'' (2nd nomination)", and so on.</small>}}}} for deletion, using the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] procedure. For additional details, see [[WP:AFDHOWTO]].
