We're a Wikia. We're supposed at least try to rely on reliable sources and stay factual, not jump for joy at any scrap of info, no matter how flawed the source. We'd had dozens of "leaks" in the past that turned out to just be misunderstandings or blatant lies. No need to treat them as gospel even if they did originate from ostensibly reliable sources. Even reliable sources can be wrong.

The "Bad Liar" preview leak looks fake to me. It looks fitted and if you take a close look at the moves, they don't synch up to the music, even if you try to resynch the music to your heart's content. The moves just don't synch up properly, even if the BPM's are ostensibly the same. Also, why is the leak so darn low-res? They probably got it from a montage in an official preview video and just tacked some music on top. Also, it's not an official source, at all, but someone who, at best, stole content from Ubisoft somehow. On principle, it should be removed.

Now, "Joanne" and "Shape of You" are trickier. The source is an ostensibly reliable source. But there are several problems with it:
 * Other sources contradict it. Or at least, it's the only official source that mentions it (and it has since been removed). When all official sources say one thing except one that says another, we should go with the consensus because people can make mistakes, even people controlling official sources.
 * The Brazilian site spelled "Swish Swish" as "Swich Swich", which means they clearly didn't just copy+paste what Ubisoft Paris sent them into their Brazilian Portuguese translation but someone typed in at least some of the song names manually. So why couldn't they have made other mistakes? "Joanne" instead of "John Wayne"? "Shape of You" instead of "Shapes" or something similar? We just don't know. And as such, because we should have some standards, we shouldn't add any of them.
 * Not listing them now but listing them if any of them are revealed later hurts no one. Nobody waltzes into a Wikia, reads what's on it and then gets upset because they don't list the latest rumours. But if someone waltzes in right now and sees those 3 songs and never returns, they might think they'll be in JD2018 and spread it further. This is how rumours become "fact". And we should not put ourselves in a situation where we can contribute to that. Add information when we have credible and non-refutable sources confirming them, not at the lightest whiff of a source.
 * Ubisoft has since removed "Joanne" and "Shape of You" from the Brazilian page. At best, we'll be listing things Ubisoft don't want revealed to the public yet. At worst, we'll be listing untruths.

As such, I think all 3 songs should be scrubbed and only re-added when and if they're officially revealed in a more official capacity.
