These used to redirect to Sibling, but are turned into articles by I like how u rotate and do not have independent notability. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 17:30, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep These are one of the most commonly referred family relationships, so Wikipedia should have every article on topics that are referred very frequently. Not having brother and sister articles would be like Wikipedia doesn't have articles on cat and dog but these topics are covered in domestic animal article.

Keep per Planetstar. There are aspects that are particular to brothers that wouldn't quite fit in Sibling, e.g. rulers in patriarchal societies. But, oh brother, that famous examples list needs to be revamped. Bill Murray has brothers? Clarityfiend (talk) 10:41, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't like the idea of perpetuating the gender binary, but there is plenty of literature that specifically discusses male siblings. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 17:09, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as Brother. It seems that the AFD is also being redirected from Sister, which should also be a strong Keep. Both need keeping. Gender does matter, as much as the politically correct claim it doesn't; and it certainly does matter in terms of popular culture and folklore and tradition, and we do need to keep those.
