What percentage of his page moves were not picked up automatically by a bot?
What percentage of this users vandalism is not picked up by a bot?
Why is the ISP responsible for what he dumps into Wikipedia, rather than Wikipedia, as it allows itself to be a dumping ground? The Viacom/Youtube lawsuit demonstrates that this is a legal grey area, thus, I see little ground on which to punish the entire ip range of the ISP.
Why are machine learning bots that are trained on previous vandalism in order to detect new vandalism not being used? They have been developed. Why is the Foundation not funding their further development?
I believe the direction of this thread has been all wrong.

The problem with that is that many articles we have would not be found in any dictionary.

Allow blocking on a more granular level, if we know his ISP, and lock out moves and redirects for the whole damn ISPs, and specifically point the finger back in the block message: Blocked because of JarlaxleArtemis/Grawp with a nice shiny link to his long-term abuse page.
It probably wouldn't work because of proxies and people that would emulate/help him.
Still, ideas that would affect less people rather than more like that are almost certainly IMO the way to go; for example restricting the range of characters and checking that the move title consists of words in a dictionary before permitting non admins or users with a small number of edits to complete a move might be desirable.
