It's POV/discriminatory to make too many presumptions here (for example, if we "presumed" that since we have no validated cases from the Philippines, then cases from there should be removed prima facie). If it's abundantly clear that the case is frivilous, that's O.K. to remove it. But if you you're just using "Unverified" to mean (Unverified because the GRG hasn't gotten to the case yet), that's not really the only purpose, or major purpose, for the "Unverified" category. By definition, we would expect the validated and pending data to be more reliable, and the "Unverified" cases aren't ranked. To self-censor is "original research". Ok, I understand that sometimes you can find a document and it's apparent that the case is probably true. But you can add the source(s), then. And for extreme claims, claims to 115-130 can go to longevity claims and those to 130+ can go to longevity myths.

This is not Wikipedia. We aren't "ranking" "Unverified" cases here, as Wikipedia is.

Ryoung122 (talk) 23:26, December 5, 2016 (UTC) You are contradicting what you said here because if the unverified cases don't need documentation to be included, why should you post documents?
