<p>Among the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/privileges/moderator-tools">10k privileges</a> is the privilege to cast delete votes. I did a <a href="https://meta.stackoverflow.com/search?q=how+do+you+cast+delete+votes">search of meta.SO</a> and found lots of discussion of delete votes but nowhere is it made clear how to cast them. I thought it would just be a little button to click, similarly to close votes, but I see no button. Are delete votes made by notifying a moderator? </p>

<p>Using <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/47118/how-to-calculate-bias-of-a-simulation">this question</a> as an illustrative example, I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. I suspect that the functionality only appears for 10k+ users. </p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong> I've noticed that, for example, on <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1504/i-think-there-should-be-more-of-an-effort-to-recruit-statisticians-for-this-webs">this question</a>, that there is a delete button. Both of the questions I linked to are closed, so why does one have a delete button while the other doesn't? Does the question need to be closed for a particular period of time before the delete option appears? </p>
