TL:DR - "No"
Keep in mind, the nuance of the FAQ along with its enforcement is a slowly moving target.

What is our position on answers that consist almost entirely of copied content? (from another stack, but relevant)
How should I cite an answer elsewhere?
Answers entirely copied though properly attributed
A link-only answer, with rare exception, is not considered 'good' and will usually be deleted. First, the writer will be invited to quote from the linked article, and if they respond, that will usually end it.
The deleted answer was not deleted as 'quote only' but for plagiarism. The OP was invited to edit the text down, but only did so after the answer was deleted, and now the answer is back.
Keep in mind, the question, as posted, was awful. "What does X mean" with no context or effort by the OP is almost always going to be put on hold. When a member invited the OP to clarify the background of a question, it's incumbent on the OP to answer, and in this case inappropriate for others to just say they like the question. As it stands now, I personally found the book citation and added it the question. If one were to visit, they now would find a well asked question, and an answer that has both a quote and a clarifying question. Also, I've removed the comments there, as they no longer apply.
Last, not every question is read and scrutinized by a mod. Some of our activity is generated by members flagging, or looking at the vote queue. Other times, just regular reading. The first question you referenced which wasn't closed, quoted one run-on sentence as 90% of its content. Only now do I see that it copied a press release 100%. Not a great answer, but it was accepted by the question poser, you.
Note - I added more references within SE to offer other examples of the citation discussion. There will always be a grey area for these types of issues. I may personally look at an answer and feel that the quote was short and the OP's original thoughts sufficient, while another mod might delete for a bad mix (I'll try to refrain from using the word plagiarism as it's only a piece of the issue)
