A reference that requires payment is still a reference and there is no reason to remove it. Almost always, these paid sources are subscribed to by libraries to which many hundreds of people here have access, and can be accessed at least by those members of that institution, and often by public visitors to it. Further, the articles will be read by thousands of people who do have access, as well as by those who do not. it is no more a problem that those books available in only a few dozen libraries.
The only paid references that should be removed are those which merely duplicate exactly what is available from other sources. For example, if a story is reprinted in many newspapers, we should try to find one which is free.
