			== Notices and discussion records ==
			Use {{tl\|Afd}} on the affected page to identify the active local discussion. Supply <code>discussion=Talk:Page title#Section</code>, or the appropriate namespace talk page, when the discussion is in a particular section. Notify the creator and affected maintainers with a neutral message. A notice does not decide the outcome or start an automatic deletion countdown.

			Record the outcome and reasons on the same talk page, then remove the active notice. Preserve useful history and attribution when merging or replacing content. Disputed deletion or restoration can be raised through [[Project:Deletion review]].

Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki

New page

'''Articles for deletion''' provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside [[Project:Community standards|community standards]] and [[Project:Policies|existing local policies]].

== Requesting removal of an article ==
Read [[Project:Deletion policy]] and check whether improving, merging or redirecting the article is a better solution. Open a clearly headed discussion on the article's talk page, identify the material at issue and explain the proposed action. Notify a local administrator if their tools are needed.

== Discuss the content ==
Assess relevance, evidence, duplication and the value of the page history. Keep criticism directed at the content rather than the author. A nomination is not a decision, and discussion is based on reasons rather than a ballot. Do not create daily log pages or copy instructions for another wiki's deletion forum.

== Outcome ==
Summarise any agreement on the same talk page. An administrator records any deletion in the local log. If useful content is retained elsewhere, document its origin and maintain appropriate redirects. See [[Project:Consensus]].
