There are actually eight criteria that ABA uses to determine if an exotic has been established. These criteria are listed at https://www.aba.org/criteria-for-determining-establishment-of-exotics/. The "15-year rule" is Criterion # 6. Criterion # 8 requires publication of a peer-reviewed paper that describes how Criteria 1-7 have been met. I assume it's up to the FOS Records Committee, then the ABA Checklist Committee, to determine if the papers written by Will Chatfield-Taylor satisfy Criterion # 8.
