Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the listed group and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the near future. The 2019 AfD on "Bibliography of books critical of Christianity" also resulted in Keep, but also with many people implicitly invoking WP:CSC #1.
