Django ORM - can_spam filter

Can someone please point out where I've made an error in this challenge?

products/utils.py 
from . import models


def can_spam(request):
    spam = models.Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains='http')
    spam.delete()

It just say " Bummer! Make sure you delete Reviews that contain any form of "http" in the comment field."

2 things to point out: 1) can_span is not a view so it doesn't need request. 2) also I ended off 'return spam.delete()'. I don't know if that needed but it doesn't hurt to try

def can_spam():
    spam = models.Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains='http')
    return spam.delete()

Tried out the code both ways. You don't need to add return but request is the problem.

def can_spam():
    spam = models.Review.objects.filter(comment__icontains='http')
    spam.delete()
