Speedy keep. The rationale given for deletion is curious.
Physical theory does not have its own article (it is a redirect to
Theoretical physics). Does it now follow that
Physical theories modified by general relativity is entirely meaningless? That is a non sequitur, and likewise for the nominator's conclusion that the nominated article is meaningless. But even if the conclusion was valid, the article is not patent nonsense – far from it. Being orphaned or from the stone age are also not valid deletion rationales. Appeals to
WP:TNT are even an implicit argument for keeping the article. In short, the nomination fails to present a valid argument for deletion, which is a reason for a speedy keep. --

TenPoundHammer: It is a valid reason if the content of the article cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, or if thorough attempts to find reliable sources have failed. The mere absence of sources is not by itself a valid argument – or else almost every stub article should be deleted before it has a chance to be developed. --

TenPoundHammer: That comment was out of line. Now, I don't like the look of this article, but your behavior at AfD has been most toxic. Like I've suggested to you before, you ought to improve these articles yourself instead of running them down for deletion at the first sight of a cleanup tag. Or, as you so eloquently put it: "How about fixing it instead of sitting on your fucking hands?" -

Keep No valid reason given for deletion. The article is well sourced. As the nominator was given succinct response in one of their bad nominations, "TNT is not policy, the actual policy says it is better to have poor article than none." Comparison with other topic don't have article is also empty thought here. –

Keep - adequate sources in the article to demonstrate notability. Since I don't don't see how TNT is applicable here I see no reason for deletion.
