Talk:Lord Richard Percy

I changed the title from “Richard Percy (zoologist)” back to its original one of “Lord Richard Percy”. He was throughout his life and remains universally known as Lord Richard Percy and is invariably styled thus in documents / literature / newspapers etc. Moreover, this corresponds with Wikipedia’s policy on the use of titles:

“Courtesy titles – including honorific prefixes such as Lord or Lady, which differ from full titles in that they are included as part of the personal name, often from birth – should be included in the article title if the person is far better recognised with the title than without. For example, Lord Frederick Cavendish is hardly ever called plain "Frederick Cavendish", and so the Lord is included in the article title.“

Otherwise, in “categories”, links to this subject just show “Richard Percy (zoologist”) – when in reality he would ALWAYS appear in any list as “Lord Richard Percy”, which is far more recognisable and identifiable than the former. And it’s a good disambiguation for Wikipedia.

To see what I mean, look at the Wikipedia Category:Younger sons of dukes
