Lord Granville Somerset → Granville Somerset – First, isn't our convention that honorifics should only be part of article's titles when required for disambiguation? Second, the current article title implies he is a member of the peerage. As the second son of a Duke the honorific "Lord" is only a courtesy. He was born and remained a commoner.

 * Strong oppose "Lord" forms part of the name and is not an honorific for disambiguation. It's perfectly standard to include it in the article title - see Category:Younger sons of dukes for other cases - and no case has been put forward for why Somerset should be an exception.

 * Oppose. We always use the title for sons and daughters of peers who have Lord or Lady as their courtesy title if they are commonly used. This is written into the guidelines. See WP:NCPEER #5. And the title does not in the least imply he was a peer, since if he were the title would be before his surname, not his first name. This may be sadly too commonly used today, but it is wholly inaccurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:28, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per previous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:301:8CCF:EC16:5B1E:B54D:805 (talk) 20:32, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
