Name

In keeping with Wikipedia precedent on article titles that are names of people, I propose that "Sir" be removed from the title. This will result in proper placement on the Category: Baring family page. WCCasey (talk) 08:38, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your reasons, but all with this title have their articles named like this, see: [Category:Baronets in the Baronetage of England]. I've corrected the placement issue in Baring family and created Thomas Baring, 2nd Baronet to redirect here, so I think that's solved all the issues. Boleyn3 (talk) 12:45, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's an easy fix, I guess. This same problem occurs on the Baronets page. Not all the names are preceded by "Sir". WCCasey (talk) 15:55, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to obsess on this, but I found that there is an established Wikipedia convention recommending that "Sir" not be used in the title of an article about a baronet, but should be used in the opening line of the article (see wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28names_and_titles%29#British_peerage).

Wrong. [1]. No.4. - Kittybrewster ☎ 20:29, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. In the case of Baronets, it appears that "Sir" is considered an inseparable part of the complete title, which is to be used as the article title for purposes of disambiguation. WCCasey (talk) 15:53, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
