Reasons for removing PRODs

There are various reasons it would be legitimate to dePROD an article. One or more of them may apply to a given article.

1. The article should not be deleted because it fails to satisfy any reason for deletion and/or it fulfills all necessary policies for inclusion.
2. The article should not be deleted via PROD because while the nominator may have named a valid reason to delete, either the nominator is mistaken or the merits of the article should be scrutinized in the larger venue of AfD.
3. When adding the PROD template, the nominator added it inside another article template and thus anyone who saw the article did not see the correct red article notice box and only saw an orange or yellow box instead.
4. There may be other reasons it would be legitimate to dePROD an article.
