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).
