Identity: the lane queue gives this line as 'Amjad Ali (1907–1997)'; the bearer pinned by those exact dates and by biography is Syed Amjad Ali, Pakistan's finance minister (1956–1958), ambassador to the United States (1953–1955) and permanent representative to the United Nations (1964–1967) — the English article, the Urdu article, Wikidata and the New York Times obituary the article cites all agree on 5 July 1907 – 5 March 1997; other bearers of the plain name (including the separate article 'Amjad Ali (Pakistani politician)') were checked and are different men. Existence checks by name fragments (amjad) across data/person, by QID and by biography found no prior record for this man: the Amjad-named files on file are classical figures and Qazi Mian Muhammad Amjad. No Arabic Wikipedia article exists for him (the item's sitelinks are English and Urdu only), so the Arabic prose is written from the English and Urdu sources and says so. Relations written: born_in and died_in Lahore. A child_of edge to his father, person/syed-maratib-ali, was added as an enrichment in run century-additions-90, when the father's record was built from the next line of this same queue block (the father-son relation is attested by this record's own English article, which calls him the eldest son of Sir Syed Maratib Ali, and by his brothers' articles); his brothers Syed Babar Ali and Syed Wajid Ali still have no records. His office successions (as finance minister after Chaudhry Muhammad Ali; as ambassador in Washington before and after Muhammad Ali Bogra; at the United Nations after Muhammad Zafarullah Khan) are portfolio successions, recorded in the prose only under this block's practice (the Firoz Khan Noon precedent). The lane queue's years (1907–1997) are confirmed exactly.",
