Funny. I didn't make senseless accusations, didn't nominate him for anything. Just asked, matter-of-factly, why he was putting his energy into AfDs instead of into looking up references and trying to improve articles.
At which point (check his history if you care), he wandered over to another user's page to recruit help, saying:
One commenter even suggested I search for references to improve the articles in question, as opposed to nominating them for deletion (the sheer irony).
So, yeah, apparently asking him to channel his energies into something that's one of Wikipedia's main goals is "ironic" as well as "senseless"?
Sticking with my original conclusion that this is not someone who responds well to reason.
