The same thing the list of books an academic has published contributes 
to the encyclopedia: a mention of notable publications by notable people 
are something that no complete article should omit.

I personally don't care if you format it as a link or not, just as I 
don't care whether you link ISBNs to [[Special:Booksources]] or not. But 
lists of publications, including notable websites, should remain in the 
article textually at least.
