Hoi,
There is much more to this. When a publication has been denounced, when the
author is denounced for having it ghost written. When ghost written is not
to reflect because of the stigma involved.. We should forcefully flag
publications, findings and authors when there is a problem.. A query should
not include what they publiced what hey "found".

At this moment Wikidata is very much a stamp collection and we should be
more than that.
Thanks,
     GerardM
