Article needs more independent sources

Far too much of this article is still sourced to Hinkins, his publications, his publisher (Mandeville), his websites, and the websites of organizations he founded. Even James R. Lewis, an author who is cited numerous times, seems to be connected, since he published at least one of his books (cited) under Hinkins' Mandeville Press. I'm going to start posting below viewable independent citations, in chronological order, so that the article can be re-written using only reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Please feel free to add to the list -- just make sure you add the source in the correct chronological order. Softlavender (talk) 06:06, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
