Steven Strogatz

 * del an average professor doing their job, no special notability. `'mikka (t) 21:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ugh, an expert doing something useful. Delete and replace with a giant robot. Oh, no wait - one of his books is ranked #17,560 on Amazon. How about keep and expand? Which I'll do now. Average Earthman 23:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Additional notes - 3,700 on Google Scholar for "SH Strogatz". Not a very common name, so indicates a good publishing track record. Average Earthman 23:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and his top Nature paper (of which he is solo author) is credited with 953 citations on Google Scholar. That is a notable paper. Average Earthman 23:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And I should point out the sarcasm above is intended as tongue in cheek and not aimed at mikkalai. The article as he found it was in a very poor state, anyway. Average Earthman 23:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

writers of such stubs (probably university website cutters-and-pasters) should be punished by deletion such articles on sight. `'mikka (t) 23:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
