This nomination is a serious misreading of the actual fringe theory guidelines.  "Fringe theory" is defined therein this way: ''We use the term fringe theory in a very broad sense to describe ideas that depart significantly from the prevailing or mainstream view in its particular field of study.''  Spiritual and metaphysical beliefs, however obscure, cannot fall within this definition.  They cannot be falsifiability|falsified, in a Karl Popper|Popperian sense.  Moreover, the content of these beliefs define their mainstream for believers.This article is about a rather vaguely defined belief devised by Austin Osman Spare, a significant figure in esotericism.  There is no "mainstream" against whom Spare's view can contrast, unless you imagine that "mainstream" to be those who reject Spare's system; that would introduce an unacceptable |positivist bias.  And treating spiritual beliefs as if they were |works of fiction - the only possible significance of "in-universe issues" - would also introduce bias
