The numerator nondivisibility conjecture for W(q,x)

From papers

Let qq be a prime with q3(mod8)q\equiv 3 \pmod 8, let xx be rational with 0<x<1/20<x<1/2, and define

W(q,x):=h(q)nqxχq(n)(1nqx),W(q,x):=h(q)-\sum_{n\leq qx}\chi_q(n)\left(1-\frac{n}{qx}\right),

where h(q)h(q) is the class number and χq\chi_q is the relevant quadratic character. Numerator nondivisibility conjecture. The numerator of W(q,x)W(q,x) is not divisible by qq. If true, the paper states that this would imply the Riemann Hypothesis. No resolution is given.
