Gholamreza Rouhani
if you come back, we need some citable source for his being a Baha'i...--Smkolins (talk) 19:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It is entirely possible that he is a Baha'i - the problem is that Wikipedia requires verifiability. That means a reputable source says so and people who want to find the information for themselves can find it. It can't be a secret and it can't be rumor. In some respects that means being able to find this information in a suitable online source (though it can be a published book somewhere anyone can find.) I looked around the internet carefully and didn't find any information. If you can specify a source - by name, where it was published, who wrote it, etc. then I'd be glad to help make the changes - indeed this article is too short and any good information on his life would be a good thing to add. If it's in another language we need it to be translated by neutral sources so that it is clear. I in no way wish injustice to be perpetrated but Wikipedia requires more than your say so or mine. It requires sources of trustworthy information that will stand up to scrutiny by unbiased observers. Also note that I didn't remove the information but I'm trying to explain to you why it happened. If we let unverifiable information go then others would take it as a opportunity to claim we were biased or untrustworthy and by extension every article we've touched. There are many dozens of individuals with cited information on their being Baha'is - I know because I went through most of them finding that information though others worked on it too. If we hadn't done that work all of those mentions of being Baha'is would have been removed by now. There is more work to be done and it requires trustworthiness to have it done right.--Smkolins (talk) 12:38, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
