When has an anonymous user ever created a decent mainspace article? I don't ever recall ever seeing an anon user making an article that hasn't been deleted. I have to note there are more filters active than just Special:AbuseFilter which have blocked a good amount of bad pages in the past. Suggestions are always welcome. The specific vandalism I talk about has already found ways to bypass the generic and very primitive filters. Abuse Filters would be much better and more powerful than the primitive filters like MediaWiki:Titleblacklist. After reading this thread I get the feeling it's trying to address a single user's vandalism and drag VSTF business towards this wiki. Nope. I've already spoken to VSTF far too often about that single user's vandalism and I get the feeling they don't want to deal with it any longer.
