I think that it's mainstream enough to include, as it's widely used as a term and even an adopted name in Afrocentric circles, and it gets frequently repeated. I think it's important for Wikipedia to address the subject, or we leave the space open to blogs simply echoing each other without any serious engagement with sources, or lack thereof.
