The result was Withdrawn. I'm going to take EdJohnston's word for it, and ask he just do the linking. It still worries me that no one edits, but I trust Ed's opinion that it is balanced enough. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:18, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reactive oxygen species production in marine microalgae

Made 4.5 years ago by an account that has only made 5 edits, all other edits have been to clean up cites except one to remove one section. It is orphaned, way technical, and more of an essay than article. It went through AFC but I think that was a mistake. There are plenty of references, but it is the format and overly specific content (essay) that make this a problem. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:54, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is a worthwhile topic, and reactive oxygen species are important. To cure the 'orphan' status I propose adding this article as a 'See also' to reactive oxygen species. To the extent that I understand the material, it looks to be a balanced treatment and it is using all the relevant technical terms correctly. For the scientific importance, see this Google Scholar search for 'reactive oxygen species in algae' which gets 159,000 hits. The article has some references as late as 2012 so it is not too dated. You could imagine that a couple of sentences about ROS in algae might be added to reactive oxygen species, which would be enough to justify a mention of this article there.
