The message that started this thread quoted a

the sources are truthfull and reliable.
The deleting admin didn't think so. If my idea was in effect and the
foundation didn't have the Bauer article in limbo, then you, if an
admin, could have restored it and that would have been the end of the
story as far as super fast ultra-speedy deletes are concerned. The
"truthfullness" and "reliability" of the sources could then be argued
on AFD if necessary.
Also, I have a hard time imagining a situation where it is absolutely
impossible to purge POV from the bio of an otherwise notable person
without nuking the article.
The "offending" information remains in the history without extensive
oversighting which would be grossly inappropriate in this case as the article history is
the subject of a legal action.
