Option 1

 * Article title
 * Reid's Paradox of Rapid Plant Migration, or Reid's Paradox


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article doesn't have a Wikipedia page yet, but it should. It's extremely relevant in paleoecology, and quite notable in the scientific literature. There are many theories to resolve Reid's Paradox, all of which will have their own section in the Wikipedia. Distribution kernels will too. It's a pretty complex topic and very interesting, with excellent notability, so it deserves a Wikipedia article.
