I want the ability to mark a source rejected

Sometimes I spend a lot of time trying to determine if the person in a source is actually my person, or someone similar. I would like to be able to mark that record so I don't waste time with the record when I come across it again. If I find the same record again in a few years, I might not remember I already rejected it and why and waste time.

In Ancestry I solved the problem by making a fake person called rejected records and attaching the rejected things there along with the reason I rejected it.

A fake person in family tree would probably confuse the people who need the record I rejected. I would like to mark the rejected record and add the rejection reasons in a way that won't confuse someone else who needs the record for their part of the tree.

    I suggest writing yourself a note on the relevant profile's Collaboration tab.
