Hi Juan,

I have burnt my time, patience and welcome at this.  I am out of it.

It would be good for someone to do who is not You, I, or Hilaire to take 
this on.

Cuis existence is not a problem, notability is.  Notability must be in 
"authoritative" (a.k.a. peer reviewed) publication by someone outside of 
the Cuis community.  Someone not connected to Cuis has to documnt 
notability.
