Scope of this template [edit]

I think a template for all commonly-used titles would be good to have (in particular since the page at Titles is so bad). But I don't think it should be limited to "social" titles. I'm making a template for other titles, but in reality I think they should be merged, and if necessary we can create different sections for social and others/professional Alexd (talk) 00:32, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be a page on commonly used titles, social or otherwise. It should be clarified whether that should mean honorifics (i.e. titles preceding the name, such a Mr., Lord, Dr., Father, etc., or also suffixes (Esquire, Ph.D., M.D., etc.). In the latter case however, the list could grow indefinitely. While I realize people are rightly proud of the honors they have earned, this may allow the article or template to grow far, far beyond what the original intention was, and in fact drown it out. Perhaps it would be best to leave the social titles alone, and simply create a second template for other titles.

Re: "Father" as a social title, while technically this is a professional title, it is exceedingly rare for a priest to be in a completely social setting, so this is a de facto social title for him in practice. The only time he might be considered to be in a totally non-professional setting is when he is surrounded exclusively by members of his own family. Using "Dr." "Judge" and "Mayor" socially is done more pretentiously, though "Dr." for M.D.s use socially is steeped in etiquette history, and can squeak by, even though it is still pretentious. -Njsustain (talk) 06:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
