Where in the Standard does it indicate that pointers, references, pointers to members, arrays and functions are simple-declarations?

In this Q&A in SO, @Josehp Mansfield basically says that, in the first paragraph of his answer. But I'd like to know how does one deduce this from the standard itself?

There's a citation in the answer: C++11 §7/1. is the question how to interpret the citation, how to find the document, or something else? – chris May 11 '21 at 14:11

@chris Now, I can see what you mean. Pointers, references, . . . , and functions are the only entities in C++ that can be represented by a [_simple-declaration_](https://timsong-cpp.github.io/cppwp/dcl.pre#nt:simple-declaration). Great answer. Thank you. – Belloc May 11 '21 at 14:29
