Title of article[edit]

Does anyone know why this article has such a long and pompous title? In other articles on which I have worked - one thinks of Sir Thomas Beecham, Bart, C.H. - the article's title is just the chap's first name and surname. Ought we to apply a similar simplification to this one? - Dame Nausea Bagwash, K.F.C. and bar, a.k.a. Tim riley (talk) 17:37, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are rules about how to name articles for your most noble ... er ... noblemen. These rules are far beyond my understanding, but they are located here: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility). -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the steer. The rules are unequivocal: our man should be in an article entitled "George Power" with (maybe) his title mentioned in the first line of the text. The question is, how do I go about changing the title of the article, and do I then have to change internal WP blue links etc? -- [sgd], Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, Bart, per pro - Tim riley (talk) 19:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
