Procedural nomination: Article created by User:Earthisalive, a confirmed sockpuppet, someone who was overly friendly to Big Bang denialists and Darwin deniers, and other unorthodox theories. Article could be fine, article could be a PR-piece, topic could be notable or or could be not notable. I'm nominating so we can have the debate and properly vet, cleanup, or delete these articles as appropriate. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 16:15, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, not a bad article, and seems to pass WP:BIO. Nyttend (talk) 23:26, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:Prof as FRS. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:30, 23 September 2011 (UTC).
 * Keep. Fellow of the Royal Society - sufficient to pass WP:Prof. Nsk92 (talk) 00:14, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep The nomination is incoherent as there is no such thing as a procedural AFD of this sort - AFD is not cleanup and articles should not be nominated because you don't like the author. Please see our editing policy which tells us that improvement of new articles is ordinary and routine editing. Warden (talk) 21:17, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep or Procedural closure Invalid nomination.  After a speedy closure, article can then be speedily and properly nominated, if that is actually warranted.  Being a sockpuppet makes no difference to AfD.  If the article can be G5'ed, it should be speedy deleted, even if the topic is notable and sourced.
