Are those sources any more credible than Amazon?  If so, then you've
done what you should - find a better source.  Do the sources agree?

I'm certainly not against replacing a poor source with a better; I'm
against removing a source without finding a better, and I'm against
removing uncontroversial information that's sourced to e.g. Amazon.
