That's not how citations work on wikipedia though. See how other things are referenced. Also, if that's a primary source, you need a secondary source to confirm that the John Blyth on some list is actually the same John Blyth as the subject of this article.

"John Blyth (or John Blythe)" on this page is described as Archdeacon of Richmond and Craven from 1485 to 1493 with a citation I can't follow. However, the list at
Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech describes a "13 June 1478 – 1493 (res.): John Blyth" and that same person is on the list
Archdeacon of Stow and Lindsey "23 August 1477 – 1478 (res.): John Blithe (became Archdeacon of Huntingdon)". Is the attribution of "Archdeacon of Richmond and Craven" correct or are all these the same person?

I've corrected the links - British History Online has played silly buggers with their pages again and switched them around - the new link is
here with the full entry being "M. John Blithe D.C.L. 1485-1493. Coll. 28 Sept. 1485 (Reg. Rotherham 11 f. 4b). Adm. by proxy 8 Oct. (A.C. 1427- 1504 f. 185), in person 23 July 1487 (ibid. f. 193). Bp. of Salisbury 1493." which proves that the later Bishop of Salisbury is the same as the archdeacon of Richmond. (If for some reason that link doesn't work - navigate to the Religious section of the BHO site, then choose the Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1300-1541: volume 6: Northern province (York, Carlisle and Durham) and look for the archdeacons of Richmond section). The list at
Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech is unsourced for the information that John Blyth the bishop and archdeacon of Richmond was the same as the archdeacon of Huntington and Wisbech, and unfortunately, the Fasti for Ely from 1300-1541 does not give that particular archeaconry - see
here at British History Online. For that matter - the entry of him being master of the rolls is not secure - because the source given for that does not connect him to the person who became bishop later - see
here where the entry in its entirety is "1492 John Blyth May 14". The Fasti for Salisbury 1300-1541 is no help, because the bishops entries do not list prior offices - see
here. It's clear that the Archdeacon of Richmond is the same as the bishop, but nothing else is secure.
