I think the Famous agents list needs cleaning up but, since I'm new, I wanted to run it by others first. I can't find any web references to Barry Thomas while, Darren Heitner, look to be, at best, very minor agents. Shall I just go in and delete? Should this page be protected from linkspam?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Sports agent. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{

There are gobs of unreferenced entries in here. I have marked the applicable sections with appropriate templates, but they have been reverted twice by user:Bbny-wiki-editor.
The first reversion confused the basis for the tags, saying that "if the listed weren't/aren't notable, they shouldn't have Wiki pages", but that missed the point. The issue is not whether the entries are notable, it's whether the facts themselves have references by which to verify, per WP:V.
The second reversion was said "the references are on the respective pages; no need to clutter lists like these with hundreds of references." But I think this is a misunderstanding of WP:LEADCITE, i.e., you don't need to repeat a reference in the lead if the references are already present elsewhere in the article.' I'm not aware of any guideline or policy that suggests that statements should not be referenced if they are in another article being linked to (other than DAB pages, which are purely navigational pages that don't get references at all. References to a list are "cluttering" it, they're the basic backbone of WP:V.
I don't want to three-revert, hence this talk conversation. Bbny-wiki-editor, can you point me to what you're thinking of that suggests that these statements should not have references? The most on-point statement is WP:WHENNOTCITE, which says only: "Citations are not used on disambiguation pages (sourcing for the information given there should be done in the target articles). Citations are often omitted from the lead section of an article, insofar as the lead summarizes information for which sources are given later in the article, although quotations and controversial statements, particularly if about living persons, should be supported by citations even in the lead." Nothing about omitting references when the statement could be supported in some other article (assuming they actually are). TJRC ( talk) 03:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
