They need to keep the reviews from now defunct sites to maintain consistency to the displayed score. If they removed them then if you actually looked at the shown reviews and compared them to the MC average it might look wildly off.

What they should do though is clean up the site to clearly indicate non-active reviews and remove the links that lead to no longer reviewing sites. I see no reason why you couldn't have a list of reviews that are 'active' and a list that are 'historic' or something like that - i.e. you can't open them and get to the original link.

Or they could link to one of those time machine sites that keep everything archived.

What's the minimum?

Four.

Is it really that low?

Yup. Ocarina of Time has 22 reviews though, so I'm not really sure what MM is talking about. 

Edit:

For reference...

Bookworm for DS has 4 reviews and a Metascore

Dragon's Lair for DS has 3 reviews and no Metascore

Maybe he thinks most of it's reviews are from now defunct websites.

There's five correct links and three non-linked entries. Some of the broken links are from very legit sites though like Gamepro and Gamespot, so it's likely nothing they would get rid of.
