Note that the context is within early Christianity, not the idea of gnosticism in general. And gnosticism further found its foothold in Christianity when certain early church Bishops started to follow it.
If it has no historical basis, why did I get it from Wikipedia which cites this source?

Just another one of your uneducated and ill-informed remarks.
