Keep.
WP:BEFORE asks us to be sure to perform as the minimum search expected, a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search. The following is from the first few Gbooks hits, and I would say that there is plenty of good, independent, reliable sources without even diving into Google News and Google News archive searches. If
nom should wish to withdraw, they may chose to follow
WP:WDAFD and add * {{
