Henry Underhill, Baron Underhill → Reg Underhill – This is how he was usually known when he had his highest profile as the author of the controversial Underhill Report into Militant entryism in the Labour Party.

• Strong Support he was only a lifepeer, not heriditary, so the title was not associated with him, until he had created a body of work that made him likely to receive a peerage. Further, he got the baronship after retiring, so was established prior to being a baron. WP:CONCISE, WP:UCN, and this is just the same as getting a KBE, since it wasn't inherited, and we don't note those in article titles. -- 65.94.171.206 (talk) 05:00, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support move to Reg Underhill, Baron Underhill. Not well-known enough for the title to be omitted. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support: It's more WP:CONCISE, has been commonly used, and doesn't seem to introduce ambiguity. But I must admit that I don't understand the rationale for including British honorifics in article titles as a matter of general practice. If there's a good reason for it, please consider me humbled by my ignorance. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:13, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:Concision razor (an essay written by Yours Truly that reflects policy-based reasoning that applies here). --В²C ☎ 01:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support per previous users. Dralwik|^{Have a Chat} 15:57, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
