This may not be a real nut. There seems to be a dedicated posse that's
hell bent on keeping [[wipipedia]] on Wikipedia at all costs, policy
be damned. This may go as far as "creative harassment" of anybody who
dares nominate their pet article. Same may be true for the other noms
you mentioned. Maybe their hope is that if people fear real life
actions from "nut cases", then nobody will dare nominate their pet
articles for deletion.
