Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Modern Mars habitability
Robert is not a biologist either, so his attack strategy to dismiss other people's feedback is null.  I am a biologist and I did work in astrobiology and I can say that Robert has been the biggest liability to Wikipedia in this subject for many years. And no, the problem is not limited the title, or a misunderstanding, or the length of the introduction, or the absolute lack of encyclopedic tone, but his pervasive POV and synthesis of biased BS, and his using Wikipedia as a soapbox to promote his blog and beliefs. Reality check: the surface is deemed sterile, known ''in situ'' to be bathed in radiation and known ''in situ'' to be toxic (10x more lethal than thought 2 years ago! See: {{cite journal| pmc=5500590 | pmid=28684729 | doi=10.1038/s41598-017-04910-3 | volume=7 | issue=1 | title=Perchlorates on Mars enhance the bacteriocidal effects of UV light | year=2017 | journal=Sci Rep | page=4662 | last1 = Wadsworth | first1 = J | last2 = Cockell | first2 = CS| bibcode=2017NatSR...7.4662W }}) yet, he even moved up to the introduction: ''"The environment on Mars potentially is basically one giant dinner plate for Earth organisms".'' Robert's shameful assay runs amok with things like these in defiance of actual scientific knowledge and consensus. His Martian hysteria has persisted for too many years in several Wikipedia articles, and I had to cleanup every time, and weather the unavoidable dramas and walls-of-text. He is not here to build an encyclopedia, and I strongly suspect Robert's only interest in this subject is to mimic his blog content in Wikipedia to give himself some credibility. Robert is unable to understand that this is not his blog, and that we are not just fans talking about his "publications", despite the self-reminder he added at his user page, which brings the need to remark that ompetence is required. I must admit that I felt somewhat relieved when he gathered all his assays on Mars and dumped them here, in a single article, because I thought his chronic damage to Wikipedia would be contained in a single page. I just have no more energy left for him and undergo the process of a Mars topic ban, but I am willing to support it and find relevant diffs if the community takes it that way
