If he had known the page was listed on the VfD page in the first place, then 
he would not have had to post anything on the bug reports page. The notice is 
real easy - you don't even need to copy a boilerplate;

Listed on [[votes for deletion]]

How hard is that? The name of the link itself indicates the purpose of the 
page and that there is a chance to challenge the listing. As an added bonus, 
you can even use the resulting link as a very easy way to get to the VfD page 
in order to list the page. That is what I do.

Come on, its not that hard. I've already done this for Wikibooks. 

Here is a link;

You can use that as a basis to create something better for Wikipedia or just 
leave the job of improvement to somebody else.
