* '''''The community decision was to delete my article for saying that Mars is not known to be sterile and for quoting: "The environment on Mars potentially is basically one giant dinner plate for Earth organisms"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FModern_Mars_habitability&diff=prev&oldid=855472459].''''' This is what the sanction debate calls [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE]. However, it is NASA's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view WP:POV]. To check this, watch this short (less than two minutes) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk-Ycp5llEI official NASA video], third on the main overview page for the NASA Office of Planetary Protection[https://planetaryprotection.nasa.gov/overview].

My article explained that by "potentially", she means, if surface brines are present[http://deletionpedia.org/en/Modern_Mars_habitability#cite_ref-32]. I do accept this decision and will not attempt to edit Wikipedia to include NASA'S views on this matter if unblocked. However, please don't require me to call it [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHEESE WP:CHEESE] as an unblock requirement, thanks.
{{cot|Details}}This is further supporting evidence that I was expressing NASA's views to the best of my ability, not my own:
