Spirit Searchers

Dear Grim Gary, I have noticed that you are the main contributor to article: Spirit Searchers, in this article it is claimed they/you are the best known group in the UK amongst other claims. Could you supply me with citations to support these claims and the level to which the organisation is notable. If there is no real evidence to back these claims up I will consider this page to be against Wikipedia:Spam policy and nominate the page for deletion. If this does happen please do not take it personally, it is simply part of work I am doing to clean-up the paranormal category and remove spam. Thanks. - Solar 19:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
