Knighthood[edit]

I can't find any evidence that Charles Porter was a "Sir". Did he get a knighthood? Or is it just because he was an Hon. in the Assembly? Si Trew (talk) 11:20, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! I can find no evidence either - it seems like someone on Wikipedia stuffed up. His parliamentary profile would record any knighthood, and other searches turn up no mention of him as "Sir Charles Porter". The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple references to him as Sir Charles outside of Wikipedia, perhaps confusing him for another Sir Charles Porter, but he doesn't have an entry in the London Gazette or on the It's an Honour website for a knighthood. Hack (talk) 04:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Porter (Queensland politician) → Charles Porter (Australian politician) – There is only one notable Australian politician called "Charles Porter", and in the absence of any evidence that his grandson Christian Porter, has ever, in any source, been called "Charles Porter", it should go back to where all the targeted links were for about ten years until yesterday. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:25, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support, per WP:PRECISION, the title should precise enough to identify the article subject and no more. There are no other articles for Australian politicians known as Charles Porter. Hack (talk) 04:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
