For example, I doubt if I could name half-a-dozen Particle Physicists. I'll bet you there are ten times that many who deserve an article of their own, but you'd be hard put to it to convince some of the hard-core AFD deletionists of it, because they simply vote "nn, never heard of them" without even giving the appearance of reading the article.
Today's VFD zen: the first twelve of fifteen entries on this days page are nominated simply as "NN, D. ~~~~" (and there's more after that). I swear this becomes self-parody sometimes...
I'm half-tempted to nominate a short but reasonably notable bio I wrote this afternoon for deletion, simply to see if anyone would concur with "nn, d" ([[Fleury Mesplet]], eighteenth century French printer with silly name = obscure), but I fear that it might be a little obviously Making A Point.
