 Django Dynamic Initial Data is a `django>=1.6` app that helps solve the problem of initializing data for apps with
 dependencies and other conditional data. Rather than having static fixtures for each app, the initial data
-can be created and updated dynamically. This can be done more easily by making use of the `django-manager-utils`
-upsert functionality. Currently the data initialization process does not handle deleted records, but this is
-a planned feature.
+can be created and updated dynamically. Furthermore, Django Dynamic Initial Data also handles when objects are
+deleted from initial data, a feature that Django's initial data fixture system lacks.

+## Handling Deletions
+One difficulty when specifying initial data in Django apps is the inability to deploy initial data to your project and then subsequently remove any initial data fixtures. If one removes an object in an initial_data.json file, Django does not handle its deletion next time it is deployed, which can cause headaches with lingering objects.
+
+Django Dynamic Initial Data fixes this problem by allowing the user to either:
+
+1. Return all managed initial data objects as an array from the update_initial_data function.
+2. Explicitly register objects for deletion with the register_for_deletion(*model_objs) method.
+
+Note that it is up to the user to be responsible for always registering every object every time, regardless if the object was updated or created by the initial data process. Doing this allows Django Dynamic Initial Data to remove any objects that were previosly managed. For example, assume you have an InitialData class that manages two users with the user names "hello" and "world".
+
+```python
+from dynamic_initial_data.base import BaseInitialData
+
+class InitialData(BaseInitialData):
+    def update_initial_data(self):
+        hello = Account.objects.get_or_create(name='hello')
+        world = Account.objects.get_or_create(name='world')
+        # register the accounts for deletion
+        self.register_for_deletion(hello, world)
+```
+
+After this code is created, the initial data process now owns the "hello" and "world" account objects. If these objects are not registered for deletion in subsequent versions of the code, they will be deleted when the initial data process executes. For example, assume the first piece of code executed and then the user executed this piece of code:
+
+```python
+from dynamic_initial_data.base import BaseInitialData
+
+class InitialData(BaseInitialData):
+    def update_initial_data(self):
+        world = Account.objects.get_or_create(name='world')
+        # register the accounts for deletion
+        self.register_for_deletion(world)
+```
+
+When this piece of code executes, the previous "hello" account would then be deleted since the initial data process no longer owns it. And don't worry, if it was already deleted by another process, the deletion will not throw an error.
