A fictional figure as part of a joke in the Ig Noble Prize. While there's a few passing mentions related to this fellow in the context of "jokes within a joke award", I'm not seeing anything that would suggest this in-joke warrants a dedicated article. Hog Farm Talk 04:39, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge to Ig Nobel Prize, where he is mentioned with "citation needed", and our stub here has some sourcing. Win-win. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:02, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per the above--even with more sourcing, this is a one time joke once, right? Not seeing a standalone article here. Jclemens (talk) 05:04, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Ig Nobel Prize - This fictional individual is already mentioned on the main article, but there are no current sources included there regarding them, so at the very least the citations here can be moved over. Rorshacma (talk) 16:54, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
