There's a few editors who have been blanking pages with the delete template, even if they're not the original person to put the template onto the page. I'm looking at a few logs, and often a deletion template would be added to the page, and then someone would come in later and blank the entire page (leaving only the delete template).

The notification isn't directed at anyone in particular, but since it felt like very few people acknowledged the blog I posted about the same topic I thought it would be easier to address the issue as a highlighted thread (so that everyone is able to be on the same page about how we should use the delete template).
