This section seems odd and biased. It contains a link to an external website, something I almost never see on in the body of a wiki article. It reads as though someone from this "Theta Noir" put that section up here to advertise.

EDIT: As if on cue, that section has been removed literally as I was typing this out. Talk about serendipity! 216.154.30.166 (talk) 19:37, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, was looking for some historical backgrounds and happened across this edit, seems like they've been going around the cult-related pages and advertising their group, their other edits don't include a direct link but I'm considering making a talk post on the other pages about removing the reference to their group, as it seems they are definitely not notable enough to be worth mentioning in said pages, but I'm a newbie to wikipedia and am unsure on what conventions to cite, possibly WP:FRINGE. 109.76.170.183 (talk) 20:09, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
