[edit] Remove the rumors?

I am submitting a suggestion that the unsubstantiated rumors be removed from the entry. Although they may add to the KBS legend, such content is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. If I do not observe any objections from this page after a week, I will edit the entry. 16 October 2005

Do it immediately, if not sooner!
put it under a unsubstantiated rumors heading, I do not pretend to know where Wiki is going but I would be dissapointed if it would look just like any ordinary encyclopedia. A biography is not complete without a description of character, and are the 400 articles on the Simpsons appropiate content?.

Now I have a name. Although I think that a separate heading is an excellent suggestion if the content remains, I am having trouble understanding how such rumors fit into the official Wikipedia policy of verifiability, WP:V. I am, obviously, new and therefore seeking advice. --Nosyl 04:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

There are published or at least written reports out there that could be referenced, especially regarding the condensation of liquid oxygen in an NMR tude. --Nosyl 05:12, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
