That's a good point, button vs link. This is just a difference in template design, and I agree it's not helpful. You could add the button to the Delete template. I think the button stands out more, so that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Time limit: I don't think there is a formal, written rule here, but typically admins will wait at least 1 week before deleting something marked with Delete, so there is a minimum of 1 week for discussion. That should probably be explicitly stated on the template and on the discussion page.

If no one contests deletion: Then, yes, after the 1 week, the page can be deleted at any time.

Person who adds the template starts the discussion on the central discussion page: as opposed to the current process where the discussion is started by the person contesting the deletion... maybe... I'm curious what other people's opinions are here?
