Talk:Joseph Beecham

Untitled
I've got this article on my to-do list. To conform with the article on Joseph's son, I propose to move this one to "Joseph Beecham" without all the baronet verbiage, if that's OK with other editors. Tim riley (talk) 15:02, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Title includes "Sir"
Shouldn't it dispense with the "Sir"? All other knights and baronets I'm aware of exclude the word "Sir" in the titles of their articles. -- ♬  Jack of Oz  ♬  [your turn]  01:04, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Extensive update
A very long time ago I planned a major expansion of this article, and then mislaid all my notes. I have now found them, and intend to upload them soon. I agree the article probably needs renaming. MinorProphet (talk) 16:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I have updated the bibliography in preparation for my update which is at User:MinorProphet/Draft subpages/Joseph Beecham, and which still needs a few tweaks. It is my intention to incorporate a large number of sfns into the existing referencing style. This will conflict with wp:citevar. Consensus should be reached, and I welcome your comments within, say, seven days. MinorProphet (talk) 22:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Proposed rename
Although many WP articles about baronets correspond with the general title "Sir X, 1st Baronet", the article Thomas Beecham (Beecham's better-known son, the 2nd Bt.) goes against this practice. I therefore propose to re-name this article Joseph Beecham. MinorProphet (talk) 22:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
