Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTINHERITED further do not think Maryam Jinnah had any brother and think it is WP:HOAX. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 12:04, 18 April 2015 (UTC) Delete. Genetics, that is, being the brother of someone wiki worthy, in and of itself does not make you wiki worthy. Otherwise, where do you draw the line? Brother gets an article. Chauffeur yes. Housekeeper, no? Gardner, maybe? Postcard Cathy (talk) 21:39, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - regardless, the article does not demonstrate notability other than arguably through invalid inheritance.--Rpclod (talk) 13:44, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. If this article is deleted, the articles this author has created on siblings should also be deleted for the same reasons. Postcard Cathy (talk) 21:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment. A Dawn newspaper article states that Maryam Jinnah was the "only child of Sir Dinshaw and Lady Dinabai Petit", so this is beginning to look like a hoax. Looking for a second source to confirm this. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:40, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete this (U)ba(i)d (U)ba(i)d boy per nom. Couldn't find any confirmation, but couldn't find anything about this guy either. No claims of notability other than allegedly being related to someone famous. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:34, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete 'Asif Ubaid' is a rather unlikely name for a Parsi (although admittedly the surname Petit is not a Parsi name either), as is the birthplace of Nigeria, and a brother of Rattanbai Petit would be a Petit at birth. No sign of notability, or even of existence in Google terms. There seem to be rather few Asif Ubaids altogether. As a sideline, there seems to be an article about another Jinnah edited by a clutch of recent accounts, Bande Ali Jinnah the brother of the famous leader, whose article mentions a sister Mariyam Jinnah - virtually the same name as the marital name taken by Rattanbai Petit - and I can see no notability for this Jinnah. He is referred to as a 'politician', but I can't see anything to show that he was notable as such. Peridon (talk) 10:10, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
