References that I would be thinking of would be on article discussion
pages, yes.

I am aware that "Voting matters" has some peer review, but I also have
the impression that it isn't considered very authoritative.

If that were shown to be incorrect, though, then at least James
Green-Armytage's article could be usefully cited on this topic. I don't
think he mentions IRV specifically, but he discusses issues that are
of interest to e.g. Condorcet advocates.

I'm not eager to resort to citing (former) EM list subscribers though.
