I'm trying to figure out if it's worth pursuing to create an article for her prior to it being taken down. Similar to how Tiffany Trump has her own article. What's the difference between Tiffany and Malia? What are your opinions and why? Factfanatic1 (talk) 17:18, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

This could be a good idea eventually. If so you could use a template like this:

• {{age in years, months and days|1998|7|4|2018|6|15}}

But you will need sourcing. WakandaQT (talk) 15:43, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

:Yes, it's pretty obvious that Malia at the very least has her own notable coverage (it's a very low bar, only two articles that are significant coverage of her individually). I'm not in the habit of making new articles though but yes, she would qualify. Macktheknifeau (talk) 03:54, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

::Considering that sunny and Bo have their own articles , Malia and Sasha should as well. Cakepops4everr (talk) 00:35, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

:The answer is yes because the woman of her level must have 102.90.102.223 (talk) 00:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Claims that Hussein Onyango was tortured in 1949 have been disputed by some, including by David Maraniss in Barack Obama: The Story. The article should probably make mention of this. --Eldomtom2 (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

The article should be titled 'Barack Obama's Family'. If I knew how to propose renaming I would do so. That is all.Robbmonster (talk) 02:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

:Well every other First family of the United States is titled "Family of" so unless you propose changing them all it should remain the same Mighty Midas (talk) 16:49, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Brief comment - there is an inherent contradiction between citing John Punch as an ancestor of Obama, and writing that Dunham was his "first ancestor in north america". Dunham was born in 1640, according to the article - the same year Punch, who had already been in America, was sentenced to slavery after an attempted escape from indenture; he had already been an indenture for a few years prior to his failed escape, so he was therefore in the United States prior to Dunham.
