I have no idea who is saying all of these profiles are fictional.
They did this to King Arthur centuries ago too.
Here is the genealogy of this lineage they claim is fictional that goes to Clovis I-

I have my suspicions as to why someone keeps saying so many lineages of "Clovis I" are Fictional-
They did this to King Arthur centuries ago. There is more proof that King Arthur existed than some of the others who claim nobility-

There are no documented direct descent lines from Childéric I, King of the Franks - see Project: Testing for Fake Medieval and Ancient Lines

' 'Someone' isn't saying this - historians are. For why, actually read the Project: Descents from Antiquity https://www.geni.com/projects/Descents-from-Antiquity/12283.
No direct descents to modern people means that the documentation for the line peters out before it gets to us.

Regarding Arthur - He is definitely a fictional construct, genealogically speaking.The debates about the likelihood that the legends are based on a real person from the 5th Century have no place on a world family tree trying to connect people for whom we have proof of existence.
However, what medievalist or lover of chivalric romances, would want him eradicated? He's central to the mediaeval aesthetic. So we use isolated trees (that cannot be accidentally merged into the one world tree) to draw up the different family lines that have been written around him, and we have TWO wonderful projects for him, that you'll love:
Historical King Arthur https://www.geni.com/projects/Historical-King-Arthur/25646#
and
Arthurian Fiction https://www.geni.com/projects/Arthurian-Fiction/8905
This project category o placing biblical profiles as fictitious seems more like an account of non-Christianity, I can understand a database not wanting such religious conflicts.
The problem with categorizing these people as fictitious also dismisses centuries of scrolls, documents, ancient bibles, ancient Church Records & many other authentic documents.
This is of course Geni's right to do this, however, individuals should also be able to make their own profiles & attach them to their lineages that are now missing that connected to the isolated trees.
Databases that reject ancient scrolls & church records will be questioned about using any church records from ancient times. All ancient history relies on many unprovable documents that were researched by scholars.
This is a tragedy of ancient research-

Regarding Pharamond, king of the Franks {Legendary}
The earliest reference to him is 400 years after the period he legendarily comes from, in the Liber Historiae Francorum. This lack of primary sources makes his existence impossible to verify historically or genealogically.
Geni is a one world collaborative tree. Single trees are better suited to My Heritage.
While some biblical figures are clearly documented in primary sources eg Herod the Great, de-facto King of Judea the Biblical tree cannot be connected to the modern world tree through an unbroken line of Primary Source documentation, so it isn't Genealogical applicable to a world tree.
The medieval genealogies connecting ancient kings to Adam are pure invention. They are interesting now because they show the history of history. See Descents from Antiquity
