To be honest, he was being incredibly disruptive on the article, with what appears to be 13 reverts spread over a spawn of two just over two months and repeated addings of the PROD tags.
Disruptive, or he didn't know the secret language and customs? I say the latter.

However, nobody even told him HOW to solve it - nobody told him to start an AFD discussion instead of repeated PRODs.
Yup.

He knows his way around - backdating the PROD and such -
Huh? All he did was enter the first date he had prod-ed it. I think it was 13 October. That doesn't imply he knew about speedy delete. It implies he added the first date that he made note of the thing.
You guys assume everyone knows your secret language, and you beat them over the head with "you know what you were doing" if they do something right by accident.

and someone did mention AFD in an edit summary, so I'm not sure why he kept reverting and such when an AFD discussion would have resulted in an unanimous delete - as such played out on 21-26 January 2008.
.... because who the f--- knows what an AFD is, if they are a good faithed editor to the encyclopedia. Why do you guys assume everyone gets into your politics?

The worst part is that I'd have done the same. If I had encountered the article on my Special:Random forays, I would have seen it was referenced, looked OK - would have left it there. A very cleverly faked up reference that I didn't know where to check ("Brahmans and the Legitimation of Hindu Kingship", ''Man'', New Series, Vol. 27-4, Norbert Peabody, C. J. Fuller, Adrian C. Maye). To any non-expert, Nexxt was being a prick, deleting what appeared to be sourced information.
Yeah, that's what's wrong with WP. You have 14 year olds kicking nuclear physicists off of pages about which they are expert.

Wikipedia desperately needs experts to identify these kinds of hoaxes & improve articles in general.
No, they need to admit there is a problem and stop being jackasses to experts, or laypersons who have a clue about the topic in question.

Even if someone were to unblock him right now, I doubt he'd ever come back, or know that he was unblocked given that he has no email address set.
Good on him.

It goes almost without saying that Nexxt needs to be unbanned promptly

At the moment he is still blocked and there have been no apologies. It will be utterly disgraceful if that does not change.
Something new? Or SOP?
