Abdulla Bhanji Peermahomed

[edit]

This page came up in recent changes as possibly being problematic due to the addition of qualifications for Abdulla Bhanji Peermahomed. I did a quick search and was able to find a reference noting this name as actually a bonafide ARIBA architect, as stated. I will add a citation to this effect. Please note when adding claims to Wiki articles that providing a reliable citation at the time will help ensure the articles stay in good working order. Thanks!

It seems likely that Peermahomed was only an assistant to Lutyens on this project, possibly one of several assistant architects. If so he does not merit mention in the lead paragraph and probably not elsewhere. Major buildings are normally designed by a team of architects, and it we usually only mention the lead architect. I base this assessment on:
  1. The designation ARIBA (Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects) would probably only have been awarded to architects who had not qualified for full RIBA status, typically at the start of their career.[1]
  2. Peermahomed graduated in 1914, so it would have been early in his career when Hyderabad House was designed (construction started 1926).[2]
  3. A Google search for "Abdulla Bhanji Peermahomed" only found two sources, other than those derived from this article.[2][3] Hyderabad House is an important building, and if Peermahomed had been a lead architect he would probably have been listed as such elsewhere. My Google search did not show other buildings designed by Peermahomed.
I have not been able to access The Times of India source (no URL supplied), so I cannot assess its credibility and how it describes Peermahomed's role. Please provide a quotation from this source to clarify this. I will tag the claim as {{dubious}} until we come to a consensus here. Verbcatcher (talk) 12:40, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
