Wiki frowns on gratuitous, "personal" articles. I think if we open with a statistics-dependent, brief, well-written, WikiStyle, neutral PoV article showing PB's reach & depth PLUS some supporting arguments in the adjoining ":talk" page, maybe mentioning some of our "official" connections, we won't be deleted.

I'm willing to give it a start, but I wanted to air the idea here first.
For the article name? There are too many other URLs containing "psychobabble" to just use "Psycho-Babble_(Website)". Other choices:
   •Psycho-Babble_(support_site)
   •Psycho-Babble_(e-community)
   •Psycho-Babble_(discussion_site)
   •Psycho-Babble_(consumer_site)
   •Psycho-Babble_(consumer_info)
   •Psycho-Babble_(forum)
   •Psycho-Babble_by_Dr._Bob
The last, though a little clumsy, is completely unique — but might seem like "personal gratification" to the Wiki police. And the other names would be more descriptive in Wiki's cross-references & disambiguation pages.
If anyone has other ideas on naming, please post here today. Tomorrow, if no one makes a convincing contrary argument (or beats me to it), I'll start an article named
   •Psycho-Babble_(support_site)
Wiki's current "Psycho-Babble" article will have to be re-named "Psycho-Babble_(speech)".
