Repair Dont Respond. If a statement is wrong, just delete it. Though, this is WMG, where the rules are somewhat laxer, so it might be important why the jossing was jossed.

But if I understand you correctly, Peacewalker actually isn't MSG 5. That is not really controversial, so i think you'd be same to simply delete it.

Thanks, basically I have been under the impression that WMG is more conversational than most pages and therefore Repair Dont Respond doesn't really apply there.

Generally, that is true. If a theory is debunked in any way, you normally don't delete it, you merely added a note that it was jossed, to "document" the guessing. However, in this case, the statement you want to delete is pretty much a dolled up "Yes it is". That's really not something you need to keep around.

So yeah, WMG items shouldn't be deleted but bullet points that don't really contribute (or in this case, are misleading) should be culled mercilessly, right?
