The ("creator"!!!!) in question is your number 20th most rewarded user in the last 2 months, if you were just to logically prioritize the verification in the order of reward volumes (as per having a top rewarded user be a scammer is way worse than a marginal user) you would have gotten to it pretty quick. I mean, how much work does it take to verify a user? we do it all the time, it takes less than 15 minutes of work per user, you could have verified your top 20 users by rewards in 5 hours of work. I understand that every part of VP you dont use of that generous delegation is money you lose in curation and in the 10% bene, and that so you have to vote something, and I think that considering the time it would have taken to make these verifications (5 hours max) it becomes very interesting to consider the potential reasons why they were not.

Is it perhaps that it is in your interest not only to vote something and not waste any VP but also give the appearance of voting quality content and that that is why these verification inadvertences happen?
