Here's the timestamp on that interview: https://youtu.be/kW9ONvrvgt4?t=3446 (thanks to Nedz for finding it)

As for the debate:

Honestly other admins might think differently, but IMO, the fan speculation thing is "flexible". Call it "inconsistent" if you want, but I don't think a robotic rule of "no fan speculation, ever, at any time" should be applied to the Wiki.

There isn't an official policy on it, but in my opinion it simply boils down to: if you can make a compelling argument for the inclusion of a certain point, it's actually quite likely to stay (on a case-by-case basis). If we waited for positive staff confirmation on everything, we'd be missing out on a lot of potentially relevant info.

Even the allusions for JNPR aren't 100% confirmed as far as I know, but we leave them there anyway because there isn't really much reasonable doubt about who they allude to.

The difference between a claim being substantiated is very fuzzy and can vary from person to person, but I'd rather be inconsistent than have a blanket rule that is a bad fit in a bunch of cases. The fact that this discussion is happening at all is actually better than if we were to blindly remove any and all speculation just because Rooster Teeth never confirmed something.

Also, I'm heading to sleep and then to work after this so I won't be around to follow this discussion, but I can check back afterwards.
