 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy keep. The nomination doesn't have a reason to delete, the points it makes are now erroneous and there is no support for it. See WP:SK and WP:HEY. (non-admin closure) Andrew D. (talk) 08:58, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Candida blankii

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's only one sentence here; seven words, of which two are the title of the article. MrDemeanour (talk) 18:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep No pretense of complying with (or even considering) WP:Before. To be sure, article can be improved, but this is a content dispute, not a reason to WP:AFD.  Ipse dixit does not apply here. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 18:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the Article Rescue Squadron's list of content for rescue consideration. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 18:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The article and sourcing has been greatly expanded. It is not what it was when nominated for deletion.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 14:26, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep or merge(striking merge option since article has been expanded)  There are thousands of scientific articles like this on Wikipedia. People searching for it see where to click on to find more information elsewhere.  Perhaps consider creating a list of all Candida and then merging some of the shorter candida articles together on it, with the larger ones having their own articles linked to. Candida oleophila Candida bromeliacearum Candida bracarensis etc. are rather short.  Is there a bot to look through every article in a category and list their sizes, or compare references to see which ones have the same references and external links?  Category:Candida_(fungus) has 29 entries.    D r e a m Focus  19:08, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I created List of Candida (fungus) as a possible merge target. Surely this has come up before, short articles like this existing throughout Wikipedia's history in large numbers.  A community consensus on whether they are acceptable or should be merged should be had.   D r e a m Focus  19:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. I've added a few references. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:00, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. Species are inherently notable and many sources exist. See WP:SPECIESOUTCOMES. There is no evidence of the nominator complying with WP:BEFORE, as there are a multitude of sources that can be found with a simple Google search. The article has also been expanded and improved since the original nomination. MarkZusab (talk) 20:05, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
