Generally, it would be an assertion that indicates sourcing is likely available. For example: "The Flailing Hairnets had six number one hits in Great Britain during the 1960s." Or "John Doe was the CEO of Mega Corporation from 1991 through 2003."
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"?
