Yeah, it turns out there are a lot more than I thought. I had thought there were a dozen or so. Looks to be more than a hundred. So in the end it's probably a non-issue. Still worth listing the most prominent ones perhaps.
your mistake (in my view) was in linking to their websites - you should have linked to their Wikipedia articles, just as we do in any other list (if they aren't notable enough for Wikipedia articles, they aren't notable enough to be in the list).
Yes, but the flaw in that reasoning is that lack of article does not mean lack of notability. In most cases it's probably just that no one can be bothered writing the article. I normally agree that it's much preferable to link to the article about the website - but if there's no article, do you redlink, weblink, or not link? The idea of creating 12 stubs about websites of perhaps borderline notability makes my stomach churn.
