Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detritus
Detritus has a specific meaning in this article, as particulate deceased and decaying organic matter, along with feces.  It is the food for detritivores and decomposers and forms the basis for the detrital food chain. Detritus is a basic concept in biology and ecology; a simple  search shows "detritus food chain" gets thousands of hits on GBooks, many of the first hits being ecology textbooks and more than a thousand hits in GScholar. The concept seems ''highly'' notable. The article could use better sourcing, but this is a  problem. A highly notable topic and an article with surmountable problems suggests keeping the article
