Twenty Thousand Leagues Claim
The article makes this claim:

In 1842, de Villeroi was reputedly a professor for drawing and mathematics at the Saint-Donatien Junior Seminary in Nantes, where Jules Verne was also a student, leading to speculation he may have inspired Verne's conceptual design for the Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; however, no evidence for Villeroi's employment at Saint-Donatien has yet been found, and no direct link between the two men has ever been established.

Vern himself says he was inspired by the design of the Plongeur, A model of Plongeur was displayed at the 1867 Exposition Universelle, where it was studied by Jules Verne,[6] who used it as an inspiration[7][8] and 3 years later published his novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.[9] Since this article goes on to say that there's no actual evidence that de Villeroi influenced Verne I would argue for removing this paragraph.
