See From WP:NCNT#Other_non-royal_names#4:

Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.

Therefore this articles name should be changed.--Ginggangsgoolies 20:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Note that Frederick Whitley Thomson was Member of Parliament for Skipton 1900–1906, although the baronet was probably more prominent than he was and could, perhaps, occupy Frederick Thomson. The 3rd baronet goes by "David". Choess 16:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
