Remove 'Dr.' and 'MBE'
Per MOS:CREDENTIAL. 'MBE' does mot seem to add to the readers' understanding of this subject. As for McCartney, if it is important to know that she is licensed to practice medicine, then say so; having 'Dr.' before her name does not convey what kind of training she had or what certification she holds. Even her own WP article does not explain what post-nominals might be used; 'MD' never appears there. If it is necessary to convey her qualification on this subject, you could add "(who is a general practitioner)" or "(who has a medical degree)". Chris the speller yack 13:45, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
- This is a straightforward MOS:CREDENTIAL point and I totally agree. No valid reason for an exception here. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:56, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

- Would this sort of thing would be more informative where we ourselves don't have a page for the founders? Lukewarmbeer (talk) 14:46, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
