That's a fairly large misstatement of the actual situation, seeing that
virtually all of the "over 70 new listings" are a list of over 70
esoteric programming languages listed for VFD by one person.
And given that the vote is overwhelmingly to KEEP them at the moment,
I'm not sure what exactly is "spiralling out of control".
My suggestion: calm down, and if a user is repeatedly submitting
articles for VFD for which the consensus is to keep, have a quiet word
to them about it.
Now, as always, if you ignore huge statistic-skewing events like these
esoteric programming languages, most of the stuff which is listed on VFD
is deleted, by near-unanimous consent, because it simply does not fit
the community standards of what Wikipedia is for.
