But is that the point? If a credible legal threat it made, we might as well just delete the thing first and ask questions later. No single article is worth getting sued over - whether the Foundation would win the case or not.

But if we take that attitude, then anybody who wants to suppress anything will just have to make such a 'credible legal threat', knowing that we'll roll over and play dead. Sometimes it's necessary to take a stand on principle.

On a different but related matter, I notice that on the talk page of the admin who deleted the article there's this gem:

The fact that the project is apparently being sued by the subject (a fact I had no knowledge of when I deleted) makes the recklessness of trying to undelete this mindbogglingly stupid. Frankly, anyone who is seriously wanting to fight this one should be hard-banned as a total liability.

So, apparently all of us who have the temerity to disagree with him on this ought to be banned from Wikipedia. Maybe some of the critics are right about there being fascistic tendencies among some of the admins.
