Blanking of controversy section by User:TDC

User:TDC blanked the controversy section with the summary: "one article in the Naperville Sun does not a controversy make". The Naperville Sun accused the DuPage States Attorney of prosecuting two people for political reasons. It is highly notable. As you know, lots more sources are available. — goethean ॐ 21:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

One suburban newspaper article makes something highly notable?
NPOV says that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each.
There is no "controversy" here and after reading the article from the Naperville Sun, it does nto even mention Birkett (love that link from the People's World Weekly though!). Torturous Devastating Cudgel 21:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
The Chicago Tribune article has a quotation from Birkett claiming that the prosecution is about highway safety. — goethean ॐ 22:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

And where, exactly, do "any" of the articles call this a controversy, for one, and where in any of these article are Birkett's actions called controversial?
