This was supported by only one substantive source, a self-published book from within the group. WP:BEFORE finds mainly Wikipedia mirrors and directories / namechecks (a category which includes the sole remaining third-party source). That leaves only the one book source from the 50s which is stated to "prominntly" feature this, but I can't find any evidence that it's considered significant. It scores zero hits on Google Scholar, for example. Guy (Help!) 15:45, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't find the second one on my search, the first is basically justa directory so doesn't pass depth. I'm happy to keep as long as we can add context for its status - on the face of it "controversial" would be a reasonable assessment. Guy (Help!) 08:22, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
