Beat them with a very large clue-stick?
References SHOULD NEVER BE REMOVED unless alternative references for
the referenced facts are found or the information those references
support is removed from the article. To do otherwise is completely
against the spirit of our verifiability and sourcing policies and
practise.
On the other hand, if the information and reference are garbage, there's no
issue with removing both of them, at least to the Talk: page.
