I removed the tag. It was added in 2009 by a usually reliable editor, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Kroto&diff=next&oldid=291030877], at a time when the bio had only one indisputably reliable source, the Nobel biography, and a number of good sources marked as external links, such as a BBC interview with him, the profiles of him at his several universities, and a page listing him from the Royal Society . I consider the addditon of the tag more than a little hyper-critical, and I'm surprised none of the many who must have seen it did not take the opportunity to remove it. By now the p. has a number of additional formal references documenting particular aspects, but the basic facts are all in the Nobel bio.
