References edit
Are there any references that show use of this term by scholars, defined in this way? If so, surely more can be made of it... as it stands, this is a very weak article that is unsupported by any references (nor can I find any). Obviously, I've no doubt that the concept the article is discussing is real, but there's nothing here (yet) to indicate that an encyclopedia article can be made of it.--Kyorosuke | Talk 21:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
There are now two refferences, though I am skeptical they use the phrase "archetypal name." As you are adding them, please quote the text that uses that exact term. Sethie (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
