... I'd propose we remove titles from both article names and the beginning of the first sentence of the article, unless they are absolutely integral. This includes both official titles (President, Prime Minister, etc.) and honorific titles (Blessed, Sir, etc.).
I'd agree with the general sentiment. Had a ''Sir'' imposed on an article I wrote, and felt this made too much of a non-hereditry title. Isaac Newton doesn't need the "Sir", for example.
If you don't want titles in the articles that you write that's just fine. Others may prefer to include them in the articles that they write; that's fine too.. Going around and removing these titles just because they don't please you is a disrespectful act.
