And, a WebCite of the M1 Group article.

I'll tell you what, Guy "JzG" Chapman really is the lap-dog of the Wikimedia Foundation. He plagiarized the Arch Coal article from me, to try to make Jimbo look better. He tended to Rachel Marsden's article, to try to make Jimbo slip in better. And now he nuked a litigant's article from the record, to try to let Jimbo slip away better.

So it seems. They made an embarrassing mess "disappear", in their typical heavy-handed manner.

The Anglicized spelling "Faconnable" also had an article, which was deleted on 30 April.

That's another seekrit policy of Wikipedia. "We're completely honest and open, our database is
forever. However.....if an actual lawsuit threatens us, we oversight everything and pretend it never existed."

(I hope you die slowly, Mr. Chapman. In a shit-filled diaper.)

Hey, Mr. Chapman! You forgot to purge the Signpost article!

Company sues IP editors for defamation: As reported by the Denver Post ("Upscale Façonnable sues over Web posts saying it has ties to Hezbollah"), fashion company Façonnable has filed a John Doe lawsuit against anonymous (IP) editors who inserted what it says are false claims alleging ties of the company with the Lebanese Hezbollah organization into the Wikipedia article about Façonnable. (The newspaper notes that the company is owned by the conglomerate M1 Group, which "was co-founded by Najib Mikati, a billionaire and politician who was recently made prime minister of Lebanon. Mikati had the support of Hezbollah, a significant political force in Lebanon, in his election. But in numerous interviews with Western media outlets, Mikati has described himself as a centrist who is not a part of or beholden to the organization.") The lawsuit was filed after the users' Internet provider, Skybeam Inc, had rejected the request to provide their names to Façonnable, stating that this would need "a summons delivered by a local law enforcement agency".

Which is weird. Where is ARS when you need them? JzG's kill leaves a redlink in Nordstrom (for example) since they owned Façonnable as a stand-alone boutique until 2007. Normally, when you think an article on a business contains too much unabashedly POV advertising, you just cut out the advertising, but retain the bare bones article with information, as a stub. JzG just heavy-handedly deleted the whole entry.

And no, it's not out of some en.wiki fear of the cédille. They deal with it in facade as of course they once dealt with it in Faconnable before JzG came along. Even the company uses faconnable.com for their English website. http://www.faconnable.com/en/
