Disagree on 7 and 8
For 7: References and sources are a must, unless everything is your own work. They should not be put at the end of the slides because the public does not have access to your file, so they cannot go back and forth to properly read the source like they can in a paper. The way I do this is simply putting "Source: blablablabla" in a smaller font, so the reader can easily recognize it as a source and ignore it if they want to.
For 8: This greatly improves the public's ability to ask you questions, as they can just say you "Please go back to slide #X", instead of having to explain the content of the slide.
Keep in mind these are used in my scientific academic background, perhaps outside of it they are not as important.
There are a lot of things I don't like about academia's traditions.
Having references and sources is a must. Putting them on screen during a presentation is not.
The presentation is not the authoritative final version of the research for others to reference. It's the quick entertaining version. It's the advertisement for the paper. The paper needs the citations. The presentation just needs to entertain and entice. A presentation is a kind of performance. A one person play of sorts. Audience members don't stop a play in the middle to check sources, or ask questions. Q&A comes after the presentation is finished. You can have a separate slide deck, of only charts and graphics with corresponding numbers that you hand out to the audience specifically for questions. But that's not part of the presentation.
Or at least it should be that way.
The reference adds stuff like the author, journal or year, so it can be a showcase for the relevance, importance, how new is it, etc. I still find it useful in cases like the presentation not being followed by a paper, or you add visual aids that are not present in the paper yet are not your own work.
