Yes, and in the usual sense: if you cannot provide a reliable source
for each individual case (and here that would mean referencing each
one explicitly as it is likely to be contentious) then the entry must
be removed.  If none of them are sourced the list is empty - delete.
If none of them *can* be sourced, the list is unverifiable - delete.  

I much prefer to use categories for contentious terms, because editors
on individual articles will see and review the evidence for them.  It
is much to easy to add things undetected to a list based on POV.  But
that's just my personal view.
