There are some notability concerns there... I haven't tagged the article, but I've left a note on the talk page.

I've also noticed the issue is now getting international coverage:

http://www.actualitte.com/acteurs-numeriques/le-president-de-wikimedia-uk-banni-pour-violation-des-regles-de-wikipedia-35722.htm

I have no idea what that site is, and don't speak French, but it shows up on Google News.
