My judgement is that original research is fine. While maybe not ideal, I'd rather have more content than less. Nuking original research and leaving only links defeats the purpose of the wiki as an alternative to link explosions. I'm essentially agreeing with jimrandomh here. If someone posts content straight to the wiki rather than in discussion, that's fine as long as they are satisfied being subjected to group editing. If you thought Bernard Crick wasn't relevant to Mind-Killers, take it out. Bogus could post it to discussion if he still stood behind it.
tl;dr Edit, but don't nuke, original research.
I would prefer not to have to go through and audit the wiki to make sure I can endorse the page every time I make a link to earlier lesswrong work. Quite frankly I would prefer not to have a wiki at all. Then the blog posts themselves can be referred to instead, serving most of the same purposes even though it isn't quite as convenient.
