And uh, yep. I definitely have doubts as to what exactly he said, if he said anything about it at all. That's kinda the whole point of this question. I'm not gonna fully believe this claim until I have proof.

SunXia : Pretty much the same statement I made above. I'm NOT gonna believe it just because I've heard a bunch of random people online say it's been said. That's the whole point of the question - I want proof.

Also, if you're trying to say that a lack of mention on the wikia means it serves no point or purpose of discussion, then may I remind you that this is a FAN MADE WIKIA, where I could literally go and edit the information in myself? ALSO also, swordsmenship does refer to martial art skill with the sword, but is it seriously so far of a stretch to include scythes? What would sound better, "SCYTHEMENSHIP"?

Here we go:
 * SO, I've found someone who translated a part of Nnoitra's page from the 'Bleach MASKED: Official Character Book 2'. I'm going to go back and find it so I can post the link here. It DOES confirm what I'd been hearing, but it should be noted that it IS a rough fan translation - shaky confirmation at best, but should definitely be taken into account.

You are right to query whether the claim is accurate or not. I have MASKED in English (its the most recently officially translated databook) and it does not say he is the strongest, rather it says he wants to become/prove that he is the strongest and I dont see any mention of strongest in relation to swordsmanship (or whatever term ppl prefer for that yoke he has). I think this has to be chalked up to internet rumour and misunderstanding based on shortened translations rather than full detail.
