For reference, I've included the code and appearance of the template below:  DELET THIS!!!!!!!11!!!11

Y: ''' Admins. Before deleting, remember to check what links here and the [ the page history] and make sure to fix or remove any broken links which were created as a result of deletion. '''  DELET THIS!!!!!!!11!!!11

Y: ''' Admins. Before deleting, remember to check what links here and the [ the page history] and make sure to fix or remove any broken links which were created as a result of deletion. ''' I think the template is a little too flippant and spam-looking (intentional as it may be). The !1!!!s and overreaction of Mr. Rental may be funny because it is over-zealous, but I don't think it is suitable for deletion notices. Deletion notices in general should be serious, since it should only be used on articles which violate our rules (e.g. spam, pornography, hate speech, etc). It's also worth noting that people could abuse this template and put it on pages that don't need it, so the page would look very low-quality.

I would change the deletion notice to something like:

It's more lackluster, but deletion notices should be taken seriously.
