I don't know if I qualify for "regularly", or for "deletionist", but I 
did recently nominate [[Forss Fagerström]], which had been around since 
April.  How did I find it?  Well, someone copied it over to the Finnish 
Wikipedia, someone else there noticed it and nominated it for deletion, 
and a user (one of the few) opposing its deletion there commented that 
it shouldn't be deleted since the topic already exists on the English 
Wikipedia.

Yes, nominating the English article for deletion at that point is 
definitely a Nasty Deletionist Trick(TM).  Then again, the article is 
utterly unencyclopedic, even if it _is_ actually fairly well written.
