You don’t, I agree that the lede shouldn’t be very heavy, but even for such small things as are present you may need refs, such as for names. Theoretically you could relocate things like nicknames, age (in the case of Harry), & even full names into other sections, but there seems not to be a good reason to do so. Consider that the lede is very important for SEO, & so having all the names that a person might search for in there is important to help people find our content. Moving them out is therefore counterproductive in that sense, but also you may consider that as a reader, you want to be assured that you are reading the correct article. I know I did, when I reread Ghost Story & saw the Paula typo & wanted to make sure they were in fact the same person. Having both names in the lede lets me know immediately that this is so, but they still need references. But, sinces having references in the lede isn’t necessarily bad, I say why not? The Infobox is indeed the summary, but consider:. It is very reference-heavy, but no where in the article is it indicated that 400 RAAF personnel were deployed by Australia. That’s just in the Infobox, because while the Infobox is indeed a summary, it should also hold hard data points that might not be needed in the narrative sections, such as family members. I think there are definitely situations where an Infobox is going to have something that the article will not, & vice versa.
