• Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): Although leads generally have less citations than the body paragraphs, the current lead has no citations.--SakyaTrizin (talk) 08:55, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment: if the lead is a mere summary of the main text, I do not see the point of it having any citations at all. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 09:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
    • It's true that leads, which summarize body paragraphs, don't require citations for general statements. But statements regarding specific statistics or recent events, need to be cited, even if they're already mentioned in the article. As the guideline on leads states, "Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations."--SakyaTrizin (talk) 10:11, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

    • Oh, OK. Is that still a requirement? I haven't nominated anything for DYK for quite a long time, and I could not find any mention of this in the rules. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 10:45, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
