The coverage

Reported

Official — confirmed directly by an official series or governing-body source.

Reported — written as settled fact by the outlets covering it, without an official source directly.

Unconfirmed — the wording hedges (reportedly, could, linked with), so treat it as a claim, not a fact.

Based on each outlet's official status and how firmly their headlines are worded.

GPFans is a mid-tier outlet - usually reliable, but often following someone else.

GPFans is the only outlet we track carrying this. Nobody else has picked it up yet, so there is nothing to corroborate it against.
