Inadequate source removed[edit]

I don't read Farsi, but Google Translate clearly shows that the only source that was cited for this article includes essentially no reliable-source information about the subject of the biography. The only BBC-published information the page includes is a few words, right at the top, saying that BBC presenter Sadeq Saba would like to get feedback from his audience, and that audience members can post their comments below. It's a comment board, in other words, that anyone can participate in, anonymously or otherwise. It includes no BBC-published biographical details about the subject at all. For this reason, I've removed this sole reference. I've also deleted the claim made that the subject is a former member of a guerilla group, since it's totally unsupported by any cite, and because I could find no source on the web to support it. The claim was mirrored across the web from this article, however, but refs to mirror sites, or to sites that obviously have copied information wholesale from Wikipedia are not, of course, adequate sources. Finally, I've added a leading "Unreferenced" tag to the article. – OhioStandard (talk) 23:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
