Referring to him by his "Lord" moniker
Just saw on the Amstrad em@iler page, that he is referred to as "Lord Sugar", I know Wikipedia likes to use the most popular references to naming people, but is this really "professional" and does anyone else get this treatment, and does this include the Sir moniker too? Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber? Sir Cliff? Sir Matt? etc Marccarran (talk) 20:13, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- Aside from the label in the infobox, direct mentions of his title, and one use as a brand name, I found only three usages of "Lord Sugar" in this article. I have changed these three to simply "Sugar". --Khajidha (talk) 18:27, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
Peerage?
I have seen this guy referred to as 'Lord Sugar' repeatedly (even in this article in the past) and in the lede it says 'Baron Sugar'. I am wondering; does this man have a peerage, baronetcy or knighthood? They are all vastly different things and not interchangeable, it is also illegal to claim said prenomen if one doesn't have it, besides it being tantamount to fraud. Can we settle this once and for all? If he has a title, add it to the article. If he doesn't, stop referring to him with various titles of nobility please. --121.210.33.50 (talk) 08:17, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- He is "Baron Sugar of Clapton" which is shortened in normal use to "Lord Sugar", he also has a knighthood so is sometimes refered to as Sir altough that was before his baronetcy, so I dont see a problem. MilborneOne (talk) 09:21, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
