Comment 2 for bug 1351001

Looking at the CLI Reference Guide [1][2] the documentation is currently as follows (note that it is automatically generated from the strings in the code so needs to be fixed in the source):

"""
nova delete command

usage: nova delete <server> [<server> ...]

Immediately shut down and delete specified server(s).

Positional arguments

<server>

    Name or ID of server(s).
"""

"""
nova force-delete command

usage: nova force-delete <server>

Force delete a server.

Positional arguments

<server>

    Name or ID of server.
"""

I don't think this highlights the nuance you note very clearly.
