Usage notes
Some authorities object to the use of as a verb with a meaning other than “provide a list of references for,” preferring  or  in these cases. Others allow the meaning “cite [as evidence, an example, etc.]” but reject “mention.” Nevertheless, the proscribed usages are common in both writing and speech.
