The big problem with Wikimedia as I see it, is that we

apply something that works to build an encyclopedia (utter democracy,
collaborative community decisions) to a world with different rules
(legal, financial, etc.), and most of all, rules which can't really be
changed with a community decision the way we change spelling or
bibliography rules.
As is done now, legal or financial issues trump community decisions.
We may not like the fact that [[Johnny Moneybags]] has to get deleted
because of his lawyer, but that's life. There is no conflict, because
the precedence rules are very clearly defined.
