Because the publication itself turned out to be notable, but their 
contents should not be cited as fact in Wikipedia. It's not pertinent to 
the issue that we can't republish libel and excuse it by citing the 
libel to another source.

Most people who threaten to sue us likely are not aware of what has 
happened when people contacted the Foundation about previous unrelated 
problems. The threats are a function of our visibility and publicity 
about things like the Seigenthaler article, and even then the vast 
majority probably believe it's the news coverage that made us delete it.

Quite the contrary, office actions are designed to *minimize* the number 
of people who *actually* sue us.
