I am unable to find any information about the existence of this "baronet". The Sassoon family certainly exist, but he's not a part of it. "Peter Sassoon" The only link in the article does not mention any Peter Sassoon. ... discospinster _talk 19:36, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is pure fantasy. The article claims that the alleged Sir Peter owns 43% of HSBC: if true, this would make him one of the richest people in the world, but he has no Google presence, nor does he come up on a Reuters search. The Guardian has mentioned in passing a Peter Sassoon Munns, who has married into the famous family, but none of the other details match up. I have added Template:Hoax to the article, because of the BLP implications for Mr Sassoon Munns and his relatives. Matt's talk 21:34, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete This is an obvious hoax. The creator has continued to add "sources" all of which indicate this is not a real person. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:32, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
