The article [[{{{1}}}]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>#if: {{{concern|}}}|&#32; because of the following concern:
:<b>{{{concern|}}}</b>
|.  The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.}}

While all contributions to Elite Dangerous Wiki are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:{{{1}}}|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.  The [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion process]] can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:PRODWarning -->
| Add this message to the talk page of the editor who first created this article to notify him/her that you have nominated the article for deletion. Should be used with [[WP:SUBST|subst]].
