Ultimately, I think we should wait until we have some external sources *for the importance of the case*. As it stands, it looks to me as if only Langan, the Mega Society pushers and a few Wikipedia editors actually give a damn about it. And that says "undue weight" to me.
Sure, it's undue weight. Undue weight isn't original research, just like poor notability isn't original research. Call it what it is.
Except that it *is* original research, because it's documented only in primary sources.
So when did the concept of original research migrate from being about work done by Wikipedians to using published original research done by others?
