We had better say "positive", otherwise {-1,1} is a solution for n=2

Certainly add this to the OEIS, with offset 3,
S = 6, 12, 24, 60, 60, 60, 180, 420, 420, 840, 840,...
or maybe, better,
S = 1, -1, 6, 12, 24, 60, 60, 60, 180, 420, 420, 840, 840,...
with offset 1, adding "or -1 if there is no solution in positive integers.

You should add the triangle too: Irregular triangle read by rows: row n
gives [lex .......], or -1 if there is no solution:

 1
 -1
 1 2 3
 1 2 3 6
 1 2 3 6 12
 1 2 3 4 20 30
 1 2 3 4 5 15 30   ...

Best regards
