Since the worst BLP I know about falls in that class, I'd have to
agree with the statement, to the extent that there is a problem. On
the other hand the PR issue is more about high-notability articles. No
deletionist approach is a remedy to the Usmanov scenario, is it?

No; but there are articles in the PR "weight class" that can be just as problematic. The article on Vodacom for example was attacked by a white supremacist, who posted about his exploits here:

His stuff stayed in there for months. There is no evidence that Vodacom have ever taken an interest in their article; but I am sure they have a PR agent. We are simply spread too thin to prevent this sort of thing, and often it's only the subjects themselves, or their PR agents, who try to fix the article.
