A better solution would be to accept his votes at face value, worth neither more nor less than anyone else's. Obviously he has a strong attitude against deletions in general. There should be no obligation for him to justify his votes.
Of course there is a need to justify votes in contentious cases, and most regular contributers to VfD do so. VfD, despite its title, is not just a voting booth but also a discussion area about deletion. How can one make an informed decision if one does not know the motivations of the people casting the votes?
