Unlikely. Nomitateing involves: 1)finding the article. This has been made easy for you 2)typeing {{Subst:ADF}} a the top of the page 3a) If you are me looking up the instructions on how to list something 4)typeing in reason 5)listing.
So the person at a minium edited 3 pages. How many did you edit?
One edit for each VfD, obviously, but I don't see how the number of edits one has to make in the course of sticking "NN, D" on a page makes "NN, D" any more meaningful. Should my vote be disregarded because I didn't put enough effort into provide adequate evidence that I'd considered the case and had a valid reason for voting the way I did? If so, I would gladly withdraw those poorly-supported votes I made since that's exactly the thing I was complaining about in the first place. A policy like that would remove the whole basis of my objection.
As it is there's probably one or two of those articles that I will be going back and retracting my "keeps" for based on other peoples' more detailed comments in response to these nominations. But those "keeps" were IMO a reasonable default reaction to this kind of nonsense.
