Um, no. This is a classic case of "hard cases make bad law".
I was addressing the 'original research' part of the argument; I don't
think it was original research. It's quite likely that the list is
copyrighted, however, since it is not a factually based list. The
argument then becomes whether quoting that list in Wikipedia is
permissible fair use (or the more restrictive UK equivalent, if you're
located there).
