Please use code tags in future when posting commands, logs, data etc. I have changed this in your post already.

You might want to use a loop like a while/read around the command ldapdelete and feed it with that list.
Though to be better safe than sorry you will have a small list of users to delete (let's say 3 of them), instead of all 15.000.

Here you can find the syntax: The ldapsearch, ldapdelete and ldapmodify utilities

It will basically look like this, where you have to change the list and the echo to ldapdelete with the correct command switches etc.:
Code:
$ cat infile
will
martha
pete
$ while read LINE; do echo $LINE; done < infile
will
martha
pete
