Generally, it would be an assertion that indicates

On the other hand,
"The Flailing Hairnets are planning to release their demo really really
soon" or "John Doe is a 10th-grade student at Somewhere High School"
gives no indication of where one would look for sources, and indicates
that they probably don't even exist.
I think that's a fair explanation, although it does leave a lot of
room for interpretation. "Upekha Ashantha Fernando is a Sri Lankan
cricketer who plays for Sinhalese Sports Club."? "Bill Gill
Elementary School is an elementary school in Tampa, Florida"?
"Westwood Football Club, formed in 2004 by a group of Bangladeshi
football fans on the streets of Oldham have been recognised for their
work with youths, preventing and combating anti-social behaviour"?
"Suzanne Westwood was a soldier who was killed in Iraq"?
