Buellia frigida

  • ... that the Antarctic lichen Buellia frigida has been to outer space? Source: Backhaus et al. (2019). "DNA damage of the lichen Buellia frigida after 1.5 years in space using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique" doi:10.1016/j.pss.2019.07.002
    • ALT1: ... that the outer space visitor Buellia frigida grows less than 1 mm (132 in) per century? Source: doi:10.1016/j.flora.2007.05.005
    • ALT2: ... that some individuals of the outer space visitor Buellia frigida have survived for more than a millennium? Source: same source as ALT1

  • starting review--Kevmin § 16:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Article GA new enough and article long enough. Checking ref now. This will be nomination 6, so I do believe QPQ needs will kick in now.--Kevmin § 16:27, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Article long enough and good enough, hooks cited and sourced. Regarding hook Alt2, am i right in associating it with the source estimate of possibly a 7000 year age?. The QPQ may work, though the age of it and that it was failed out before full review migh be considered problematic by nom promoters.--Kevmin § 19:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Re: Alt2, yes. I swapped out for another QPQ (also old, but performed during the "QPQ not required" stage) that had a full review. Esculenta (talk) 20:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Everything is looking good at this stage. No policy issues seen in the article, no copyvio or close paraphrasing with the prose. I lean towards Alt0 or Alt1 as first selections for use. Good to go.--Kevmin § 19:21, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
I moved one citation to comply with WP:DYKCRIT. Also Earwig is not working for me today: it came up zero but it is buggy for me. Bruxton (talk) 15:38, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
