Folk with eccentric points of view such as splinter political parties often maintain websites and sometimes even publish books.
Then those websites and books are pretty good references for their opinions. I don't see a problem here. A flat earth society website is an excellent reference for a description of the views of that society.
The lunatic fringe are typically easy enough to deal with; it's the more subtle cases that are harder to judge. Why not bring up real-life, happening-today cases? For example, this sourced statement [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Banu_Qurayza&diff=14817484&...], which was reverted from an article on the grounds that the author didn't have a Wikipedia article on him, one article editor had never heard of him [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ABanu_Qurayza&diff=14816...], and another simply didn't feel he was "notable" [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Banu_Qurayza&diff=next&am...] Now, Tony, how do you deal with this? Is this published author notable enough to be quoted in the article?
Jay.
