Thank you for reading! :D

These studies could contribute to the Fermi Paradox Article as well! Chantern15 (talk) 04:35, 21 August 2021 (UTC) Chantern15

@Chantern15: I don't think anyone will delete your post here on the talk page (no one has yet, over year later and counting), but as for adding this to the article, right now it likely falls under WP:FRINGE. Since you've only provided the two sources, one that has not been reviewed and one that has but is paywalled, it's hard to say if they would be sufficient enough to support adding mention of this to the article (though it's probably unlikely). You would in all likelihood need more sources, and solid ones at that. (imho) - wolf 16:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

That's not paywalled nor peer reviewed - it's a conference abstract, with no attached paper, it seems. In any case, it is wildly WP:FRINGE speculation and there is no reason to include such stuff here. It might go on a page about contemporary fringe claims of intelligent life on Mars. cyclopia^speak! 13:16, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
