Bad faith with the AfD

The AfD was a no consensus due to many new and inconsistent users voting keep. It was recently uncovered at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of TRACS members that a banned user User: Jason Gastrich (banned according to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jason Gastrich) has been using a personal website to send people to wikipedia to keep all Christian related articles despite the reasons for deleting them. Many susepct users voted keep in votes Michaelwmoss (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) in both AfDs and others have openly admitted being sent by outside groups to keep the articles.[1] However, a Gastrich supporter hints that he was sent to AfDs by Gastrich yet refuses to clarify his answer.[2] This is deceitful and in violation of wikipedia policy.

?

But I don't see why people would have to be persuaded to keep the article...the evidence that was provided was all legitimate and valid and almost certainly certified his notability. I certainly didn't use any sort of underhand persuasion to sway votes. I've read all the evidence and certainly believe that the criteria for inclusion of biographies have been met.
