No, this is not plagiarism by definition. In such cases, the value of the publication can be questioned. Indeed, if some publication contains mostly the quoted material, it can be considered as not original and, under certain conditions, not appropriate. Article can be removed, and so on, but the author cannot be accused of plagiarism in any way.

"How much author's own text should be included" cannot be a valid measure even for estimation of the value of the publication. If you question an article, you can consider it as, say, a defending a dissertation. The author should convince people in some points, original though, something. In principle, it can be done in a very few words.

Anyway, we face here real shameless, even "naive" plagiarism, which is much more important to block. Plagiarism is a form of cheating, based on the lie on the origin of some code or text, lack of proper attribution; that's as simple as that.
