Are you certain that you can libel an entity which isn't living?

Whether the law applies is moot, for a few reasons but including the
fact
that it appears he didn't do anything except use Wikipedia as a prop
for
his column.
Well, he also does appear to be libelling the wikipedia, and he's doing it from the UK, which is the easiest country to prove libel; the truth isn't even an absolute defence against libel in the UK.
It would be a good idea to check that some or all of the events never actually happened. Note that it could have happened months or even years ago; nobody has checked that far back; and we need to make sure that it wasn't oversighted or something.
