With wiki, best is press articles, second best is links in things like an independent compendium of science fiction clubs. Anything more personal than that (blog, epinions, newsgroup posts, etc) probably won't be considered a "primary source."
The exclusive use of links from the BASFA site itself and the relative lack of Google results probably does suggest obscure by wiki standards. They usually want independent primary sources. It's possible defending the entry in the Talk page would be effective. We may also want to consider, instead, an article on the SF community in the Bay Area (including BASFA) with links to general press on such.
