What's the standard interaction pattern for bulk edit / delete actions on windows phones?

Question

I'm looking for the standard pattern for windows phone for bulk actions like delete, archive or move. I mean, for example: How is the user supposed to delete multiple items at once.

For Android it is to to a long press to select the one item:

Is there a recommended pattern for Windows Phone, that is established? What is it?

Check out how the standard Windows Phone Mail application handles it.

Tap any mail item at the lefthand edge of the window - a column of checkboxes will slide into view, with the item you just tapped already selected.

The application bar will alter to show you the available bulk actions - Delete and Move are the two main options, with Mark as Read, Mark as Unread, Set Flag, Complete and Clear Flag listed below.

Here's a screenshot showing the checkboxes in use:
