Why is Maitland styled "Lady Olga Maitland" at the top of this page? --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 20:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
While I'm not too keen on the tone of the above message, it does make a good point - on Wikipedia, articles on people with titles are generally under their common name, not their title. (For example, Margaret Thatcher is at that name rather than 'Baroness Thatcher'.) I'm not aware of any reason why this page should be any different, so it probably should be moved back to Olga Maitland. Robofish (talk) 19:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Nelson has been at Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson. In the case of Maitland what she has or hasn't done is irrelevant, it's how she is generally known, and in my experience she is virtually always referred to as "Lady Olga Maitland" nor "Olga Maitland". Looking at similar article titles at Category:Daughters of earls the default seems to err on the side of including "Lady" except for where the woman is better known without it, either because of their marriage or because of the name they use most prominently (e.g. "Antonia Fraser" is on the cover of her books) or because she achieved prominence before her father was an Earl (e.g. Megan Lloyd George who only became a Lady in 1945 when she'd been in Parliament for nearly 16 years). Unless there's a naming convention that explicitly deplores using "Lady " in relevant article titles, this one is consistent. Timrollpickering (talk) 22:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
