Notes.

(a)

Although there are 41 matches to Kokorev et al. 2024, we find that IDs 1470 and 59971 are the same object in that catalog. This object is only counted once in our analysis.

(b)

All uncertain broad Balmer lines with F444W < 26.5 are indeterminate broad, i.e., they lack [O III] or Hα in G395M, or suffer from a DQ issue.

(c)

For Barro et al. 2024, 12/16 (75%) uncertain broad Balmer lines with F444W < 26.5 are indeterminate broad. However, we do not detect broad Balmer lines in RUBIES-UDS-28221, RUBIES-UDS-59971, RUBIES-UDS-853923, or RUBIES-UDS-977881 (the z ∼ 7 quiescent galaxy from Weibel et al. 2025), despite full coverage.
