Non-notable neologism. Prod contested by author. --Finngall ^talk 13:19, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• Delete. As far as I can tell, this term has no currency outside the work of Dirk Schulze-Makuch (whose own notability, despite lots of sources, I'm not sold on). I suppose if other editors are generous, a redirect to extraterrestrial life is plausible, although I suspect inclusion of Schulze-Makuch's term there would be undue weight.

• Delete per WP:DICDEF - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There doesn't seem to be a connection between this concept and Dirk Schulze-Makuch nor extraterrestrial life, at least according to our articles about those topics, so redirecting would be incorrect. Google search brings up results for a great diversity of cleaning products but nothing about this usage. Ivanvector (talk) 19:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• Redirect to biosphere. The neologism isn't notable, but it provides a sensible redirect target in its definition. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:01, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
