"It is rumoured.."

I removed from the article the following text: "It was also rumoured that Kahar established international connections which included guns supplies from Britain, and the smuggling of DI people under the noses of the British officials in Tawau (Sabah) who feigned ignorance on the matter. The supposed sightings of submarines in the gulf of Bone also fuelled such rumours." An unsourced rumor fails WP:V:verification since no reliable source is stated or even implied. Several references are cited in the article. Perhaps one or more of them can be added as an inline source and the text can then be restored. Edison (talk) 18:08, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The once and future king

This bio article has a section which reads like the legend of King Arthur, with unreferenced statements that "many believe" that he did not die, but was spirited away to some mysterious place from which he will return to aid his people. Such hero worship and legend spinning is inappropriate in an encyclopedia, especially when no reliable source is even cited to state that such beliefs are or were common.
