What “Unsourced” means here
The [[guides/evidence-labels|Unverified]] label on a news item: assertion without a solid primary source.
This page is the standing list of those sentences — vendor talk, forecast talk, medical talk, anonymous screenshots — so they have a home that is not “secretly true” and not “automatically a conspiracy.”
| Unsourced | Fringe |
|---|---|
| Missing source | Story about hidden actors, secret ingredients, remote activation, cover-up |
| May become Preliminary if a paper or filing appears | Stays Fringe until the narrative changes, even if one footnote is real |
| Often ordinary hype | Often recycled as a package |

Current rows
| First noted | Claim | Missing piece | Do not confuse with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recurring | A headline “graphene battery” names one commercial chemistry | Anode vs additive vs coating; cell size; C-rate; third-party report | [[topics/industry/2026-09-09-gmg-battery-cycling]] is Preliminary small-cell data — sourced, still not a pack |
| Recurring | Market will be $X billion in year Y | The model, the grade mix, and what counts as a “graphene product” | Flagship budgets are public programme numbers ([[timeline/2013]]), not market-size prophecy |
| Recurring | Plant capacity “N tonnes graphene / year” | Whether the tonne is GO, rGO, GNP, or CVD film | [[reference/forms]] · [[reference/standards]] |
| Recurring | Imminent neural or cancer device from a patterning or coating paper | Clearance, in-vivo data on that device, not a university release | [[posts/holey-graphene-molecular-stencil]] |
| Recurring | Screenshot of a vial / SEM “proves” composition of a licensed product | Chain of custody to a named lot | That package, when it includes plot-language, is also [[logs/conspiracies#fringe-narratives]] |
How a row leaves this page
- Primary paper, filing, or regulator text appears → retag Preliminary or Well-supported and file under the right topic.
- The same sentence is absorbed into a cover-up story → add a Fringe row on [[logs/conspiracies]]; keep this Unsourced row if the source is still missing.
- Shown to be a recurrence of an old sourced paper → [[recurrence/log]].
Niche unsourced claims are welcome. Silence is not a source.
