[edit] Naming

See From WP:NCNT#Other_non-royal_names#4:

Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.

Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)


Oh dear! I have been getting this completely wrong! Cutler 20:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
As a quick check of Gordon-Cumming Baronets would have confirmed, there are articles on two of these baronets whose first name was William. The disambiguation is therefore needed. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Saved again by fortune!! But I fear that I might have made the mistake a lot elsewhere recently! Cutler 14:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
