One doubt I have is whether you see this also affecting other names like X, King of Y or Alfred, Lord Tennyson, or it's only Sir/Dame that you have in mind. Well, Sir was the only example that came to mind, and probably the only I've seen in use at MusicBrainz, but your other examples would probably also fit my criteria. -- -:-:- David K.

Re: [mb-style] Remove honorary titles
I agree with Trevor Downs. If an artist makes a point to include the title, and if the title is used on cover art, liner notes, and other artifacts of music production; then it's reasonable to include the title in the artist name. So, including the Sir for Sir Thomas Beecham seems appropriate, but I wouldn't suggest Sir Paul McCartney be used. These can be decided on a case-by-case basis. -- View this message in context: http://musicbrainz.1054305.n4.nabble.com/Remove-honorary-titles-tp4672440p4672446.html Sent from the MusicBrainz - Style mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style

[mb-style] Remove honorary titles
Hi, I'd like to propose that we remove honorary titles from artist names, i.e., Sir Thomas Beecham [1] should be simply Thomas Beecham. They are not really part of the artists' names, and should not apply to times before the titles were bestowed. ACs can be used to indicate the title if they are featured on a release, of course. I'd like to see this added to Style/Artist. [1] http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0e6ccc63-41cb-4903-8b7d-60846aca6d58 -- -:-:- David K.

Re: [mb-style] Remove honorary titles
I'm generally in favor of a title only if a person makes it a point to use it. Trevor Downs Sent from my iPhone On Mar 20, 2015, at 3:26 PM, Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren reosare...@gmail.com wrote: Hi!
