I'm not saying the man doesn't deserve a Nobel medal, that's a separate argument, but I fail to see what he had done in 11 days to get him recommended. As a counterpoint, the 2010 recipient, Liu Xiaobo, has been advocating for democracy in China since 1989. That's 21 years of work compared to 11 days.

This thread may now resume its regularly scheduled trolling.
