DOB/DOD

The opening sentence of the article currently states:

Jamshid Hashemi^[a] (also spelled Hashimi; 25 April 1936^[2] – 26 August 2013^[3]^[4]) was an Iranian-born trader in arms and other commodities convicted of fraud in the UK in 1999.

The citation for his DOB is an ancestry.com link to Mohamad Ali Balanian Hashemi and the citation for his DOD is a tributes.com link to Mohammad A. Hashemi. Disregarding the general consensus in WP:ANCESTRY (which would like apply to tributes.com, too), I can find no sources that definitively indicate those names are linked to Jamshid Hashemi. A Google search of "Mohamad Ali Balanian Hashemi" does reveal a link to "James A Khan, Age 103 - Lives in Mc Lean, VA" in truepeoplesearch.com, so this is probably the same person. Accordingly, I am going to remove the links to ancestry.com and tributes.com. -Location (talk) 18:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
