After a couple of articles get no "delete" votes at all, however, I would be inclined to consider listing more of them trolling, yes.

I'm sure I could muster up some delete votes. But change the topic slightly, to something like number articles, or rambot articles, for which I could definitely get some delete votes (and which I think should be deleted anyway). I could do it with Federal Standard 1037C articles, or articles about non-bestselling albums, or articles about most actors, or article about most movies, maybe even many of the species articles, though I wouldn't want to. It's basically what happened with the September 11th victims. At first there was a lot of support for keeping at least some of them, but as they got listed over and over and over again the people willing to waste their time voting keep waned, to where we've now deleted *even the pilots of the aircraft*. It's what's happening right now with high school articles. It happened with the pokemon articles, but I don't know what the outcome of that one was.
Perhaps the VFD rules could be changed to make deletion harder unless there is a real consensus. One formula might be:
delete if deletion_votes > 10 + 3 * keep_votes
