...and LaRouche's group is extremely unlikely to be the last.  Has 
the Church of Scientology been doing anything of that sort?  If they 
haven't, they probably will eventually, since that's their style.  So 
will lots of other groups, big and small.  Eventually, there may be a 
whole bunch of contentious articles in this category.

It may still be a state of affairs more conducive to some semblance 
of NPOV than the situation with some other articles, where they're 
open for editing but one side of the heated dispute involving them 
has been labeled trolls, harrassers, etc., and banned, and anybody 
else expressing views anywhere on that side are subsequently called 
sock/meatpuppets of a banned user, or trolls republishing views of a 
banned user, and so only one side of the dispute is allowed to have 
any say at all.
