+Event Deletion Request
+----------------------
 
 `draft` `optional`
 
-A special event with kind `5`, meaning "deletion" is defined as having a list of one or more `e` tags, each referencing an event the author is requesting to be deleted.
+A special event with kind `5`, meaning "deletion request" is defined as having a list of one or more `e` or `a` tags, each referencing an event the author is requesting to be deleted. Deletion requests SHOULD include a `k` tag for the kind of each event being requested for deletion.
 
-Each tag entry must contain an "e" event id and/or `a` tags intended for deletion.
-
-The event's `content` field MAY contain a text note describing the reason for the deletion.
+The event's `content` field MAY contain a text note describing the reason for the deletion request.
 
 For example:
 
-```
+```jsonc
 {
   "kind": 5,
   "pubkey": <32-bytes hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
   "tags": [
     ["e", "dcd59..464a2"],
     ["e", "968c5..ad7a4"],
-    ["a", "<kind>:<pubkey>:<d-identifier>"]
+    ["a", "<kind>:<pubkey>:<d-identifier>"],
+    ["k", "1"],
+    ["k", "30023"]
   ],
   "content": "these posts were published by accident",
-  ...other fields
+  // other fields...
 }
 ```
 
-Relays SHOULD delete or stop publishing any referenced events that have an identical `pubkey` as the deletion request.  Clients SHOULD hide or otherwise indicate a deletion status for referenced events.

-Relays SHOULD continue to publish/share the deletion events indefinitely, as clients may already have the event that's intended to be deleted. Additionally, clients SHOULD broadcast deletion events to other relays which don't have it.

+When an `a` tag is used, relays SHOULD delete all versions of the replaceable event up to the `created_at` timestamp of the deletion request event.
 
 ## Client Usage
 
-Clients MAY choose to fully hide any events that are referenced by valid deletion events.  This includes text notes, direct messages, or other yet-to-be defined event kinds.  Alternatively, they MAY show the event along with an icon or other indication that the author has "disowned" the event.  The `content` field MAY also be used to replace the deleted events' own content, although a user interface should clearly indicate that this is a deletion reason, not the original content.

 A client MUST validate that each event `pubkey` referenced in the `e` tag of the deletion request is identical to the deletion request `pubkey`, before hiding or deleting any event.  Relays can not, in general, perform this validation and should not be treated as authoritative.
 
-Clients display the deletion event itself in any way they choose, e.g., not at all, or with a prominent notice.

+
+Clients MAY choose to inform the user that their request for deletion does not guarantee deletion because it is impossible to delete events from all relays and clients.
 
 ## Relay Usage
 
-Relays MAY validate that a deletion event only references events that have the same `pubkey` as the deletion itself, however this is not required since relays may not have knowledge of all referenced events.
