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.
