Well you have convinced me that MNH has violated our policy on this issue, but until we have [[Wikipedia:Submission Standards]] linked from every edit window I don't think we can ban anybody until after we know for sure that they are aware of our policies (even then we should always give people a couple chances to reform their behavior). I suggest to the list then, that MNH be made aware of the policy and asked not to violate it again.
Then come back to the list if/when he has continued this behavior. At that point we may decide to start a mediation/arbitration proceeding.

OK, I see the expedience and wisdom in not seeking a ban until the procedures are formalised.
