I have a suspicion that I might know the figure you're thinking about so I won't throw his/her name out there, but I think that there are three ways to deal with the question.
One is to insist that all figures of questionable veracity be slotted into the Wildcard spot.
Another is to have the person choosing the figure make their case for why this personage should be considered of historical importance at the time the choice is made, even though they may never have existed. This case then to be accepted or rejected by the other members of the draft. This would slow things down, but I think it could work.
The third option is to make people of questionable veracity verboten in the draft.
Personally I like option two.
