Don't delete it. Deleting an article has the lowest effort:effect ratio, so lots of automatic policies are in place to speedily allow an author to restore a page that's been deleted.
If the article itself shouldn't exist, mark it with {{qd|spam}} . `qd` is quick deletion.
If the article should still exist but has substantial content that's advertising, mark it {{npov}}
In both cases someone else will come along and fix it. If the author who put the ads up in the first place removes your template, just put it back up.
- arthur2e5 5y agoFor doing these sort of things quickly, try getting the Twinkle gadget (enwp.org/WP:TWINK) — you get a giant searchable list for tags to add. Heck, you can put a BUNCH on at a time! Also, {{advert}} is a thing.
