Absolutely not, under any circumstances.  Never remove a reference
unless you either (a) remove the information referenced (placing it on
the talk page unless it is libellous), or (b) add another reference to
a better source that completely covers everything the previous
reference did.

David is correct that removing references like this will lead to swift sanction.
