Illuminati Links
As a matter of fact, you sort of answered your own question. You claimed that there are a number of claimants to the title "Illuminati". So which one is accurate? Which one is "right"? There are also a lot more groups than just those few links, so let's take a look at what the other EL guidelines say, and how they apply.

One of those sites is in German, so that really shouldn't be there because it's not in English. However, they're one of your claimants, so if we leave the other one in that is in English, we're engaging in undue weight, because "if it's there, it must be important". Those sites furthermore don't provide any unique information - they all assume the reader is going to be intrigued by these secret Illuminati people. Since these groups are also only talking about their Illuminati POV, it's more or less advertising their own group rather than a concept. Having dealt with quite a few areas on Wikipedia where who's what isn't particularly clear, I would rather see links to third-party material than having to figure out who's legit and who isn't every time someone adds a link. It becomes far more trouble than the information provided is worth.

Lastly, the reason there are redirects on Bavarian Illuminati and such is because those are subsections in the Illuminati article. There's not enough information to write a whole article on those items, and again, wouldn't it be better to have information in the article than turning the article into a list of links?
