Candida blankii
I am within 300 characters of reaching the 1500 minimum, so that I could submit this for a WP:DYK. I am running out of ideas. It is easily past the 5X expansion, and we are within the time limit. If you can find something to add, I would be happy to add you as a co-contributor. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:06, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
- 7&6=thirteen: The original description (can you access it?) has physical characteristics. That is the obvious absence, here! I'll take a quick look this evening. Josh Milburn (talk) 12:39, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

within 100 charactersover 1,500, so this should require only a mild touchup. I particularly like taking an AFD to a DYK. I am naturally resistant and perverse that way. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎)- Any suggestions for a WP:DYK hook? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- 7&6=thirteen: I'd go for something about human infection. Something like: ...that though first described from mink organs, the yeast Candida blankii' is now known to infect humans? Josh Milburn (talk) 10:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Although I should say that the article is maybe a little all over the place at the moment - I think that's probably unsurprising, given that it was put together quickly by non-specialists. Perhaps we could try to put it in "order" a little... Something like:

- I think GAC would be very optimistic, but hopefully we can get it to a nice self-contained B-class before it hits the MP? Josh Milburn (talk) 10:42, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll nominate it. Will list you as a co-creator.
- A collaborator would be most welcome. For sure, I was working outside my bailiwick. It was written to defeat the delete; that whole kerfuffle started because one editor got irritated and retaliatory when I undid his deletion of a link to the article. A silly reason to start an AFD.
- I would welcome any rewrite or clean up you might do. Any article can be improved, and this one needs another set of eyes. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 11:29, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Getting TO WP:GA will take some work. OTOH, WP:Deletion to Quality Award is an incentive. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 13:06, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- 7&6=thirteen: I've moved things around a little so that it's a bit more standardised. The article's certainly not looking terrible, but I'm a little nervous that two non-specialists have pulled together disparate comments from such a wide range of journals - the article feels a little bitty, and I worry we may have gotten some things wrong. 17:45, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
