Ahoy, TARDIS crew! I'm assuming you've all been to Series 7 (Doctor Who). When you arrive for the first time, you get a disclaimer warning you that there are spoilers on that page and you get the option to either continue or leave. According to the spoiler policy, such spoilers are allowed on pages like that one. Now at the very bottom of the page, there's a section called "rumours." According to the Miriam Webster dictionary, the definition of a rumour is "talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source." So, according to its very definition, the rumours section should contain what Whovians think as a whole, and not confirmed facts. I don't think the rumours section should be so strict about sources. The page allows spoilers and there is clearly a section on what the people think will happen, not necessarily just what the crew say in interviews. If the people think a certain old series alien is coming back, then it should be included in the section, regardless of whether or not there's anything to back it up aside from speculation. It's a section about speculation; either get rid of it or use it properly. (That was longer than expected...)
