Talk:Currimbhoy Ebrahim

Re (Currimbhoy Ebrahim was an Indian Muslim, created a baronet in 1911 by the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Baronetcy Act) I'm dubious about the implication of the wording. He was created a baronet in the normal way (1910), but the act in council (of 1911) seems to have been to create a trust to support the dignity vide  The same is presumably true of the Cowasji Jehangir Baronetcy Act though I have not checked.

 * Thanks for the corrections: I created the article hastily in the hope of subsequent incoming corrections.
 * I can't find very much info on him quickly but that's not unusual for Raj period figures who are often forgotten and need more specialist sources. We need to know why he was significant really. I have added an s-box but at some point we will need to create an article for his baronetcy based at List_of_baronetcies_in_the_Baronetage_of_the_United_Kingdom which appears to be extant and held by Mahomed Currimbhoy Ebrahim.

See Citizendium for much more information on these baronets.

The Merchant Prince of Bombay- Sir Currimbhoy
Sir Currimbhoy has variously been described as the merchant prince of Bombay. The family have been called the builders of Bombay city and the city is etched by their presence.The Dental Collage of Bombay, The Prince of Wales Museum and The Willingdon club , The Bombay Zoo,all have contributions of the Currimbhoy family.No History of the city can be complete without a history of the Currimbhoys.The Currimbhoy Mills were the stars of the business world of their days, but took the brunt of the khadi movement that affected the Mills , which relied on Rayon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Atir67 (talk • contribs) 18:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

 * It all sounds of a piece. Are there any references available for this information which is undoubtedly useful?

Naming
See From WP:NCNT#4:
 * Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.

Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
