From what I have seen so far that is the most likely
outcome of this case,
viewing RJII as a POV warrior, which does not address the
nominal reason for
the test case, refusal to cite sources. I'm afraid we know the source of his
material - in the ideals of Objectivism which visions a pure and vital
capitalism not to be found in the real world which on the other hand has
capitalist economic systems which we need to describe in order to write the
article [[capitalism]].
So the issue is not policing content, although there is the question of how
to give a little space to a distinctly minority point of view without it
dominating the article. As we consider a controversial matter such as
capitalism there are those who support it in all its glory; revolutionary
critics of it; and theoretical perspectives of various sorts. These
perspectives certainly should have a place in the article but there remains
the major work of describing the system itself and its workings - a task
which needs to be done without constant consideration of perspectives, pro
and con being added to every sentence.

I think, we would have had a compromise a long time ago,
if not for the unique character of RJII. He is a strangely intransigent
moving
target. I'd catagorize him as a POV warrior of the highest degree,
