Also, I have a hard time imagining a situation where it is absolutely impossible to purge POV from the bio of an otherwise notable person without nuking the article.
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.
This all depends on what you mean by a "credible" legal threat. Bauer has gone beyond the threat stage, but was her threat credible in the first place? There comes a point where a person has to take a stand or be forever backpeddling. Litigious people are well aware that most of the population is deatly afraid of being sued, and have no compunctions about taking advantage of the fact.
