Possible? Of course... but I checked it numerous times and it all 
works when I type it by hand at the grub prompt and it also works when 
I put it into custom.cfg (copy and paste). I have also written and 
rewritten it many times, trying all of the various suggestions here in 
this thread, etc. and variations and it never appears in the grub 
menu, not even in a defective state. All my entries simply do not show 
up at all.

I definitely did NOT delete that line ;-)

But no matter. Editing custom.cfg is actually preferable, since you 
don't need to change those scripts under /etc/grub.d and you don't 
have to run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. And these entries 
verily do show up in the menu.
