That guideline reads in part However, there are several exceptions: Some peers who are almost exclusively known by their personal names have their articles so titled, e.g.
Bertrand Russell (not "Bertrand Russell, 3rd Earl Russell").... Another exception given by the guideline is
Margaret Thatcher. The nominator claims that The subject of this article is known universally as Lord Strathclyde or Thomas Strathclyde (my emphasis), and the article suggests another similar name
Tom Strathclyde, but I note that it's not
Maggie Thatcher so probably not Tom. It seems to me that the intention of the guideline is to prefer a common name where one is prevalent, and that this may well be a case in point.

The intent of the guideline is quite clear ...peers, usually have their articles titled "Personal name,Peerage title", then there are the exceptions of which we are looking for people known 'almost exclusively' by their 'surname'. He's generally called LS and sometimes Tom S - which is not remotely close to meeting the exception clause

I have removed a significant section of the article as it seemed to be mostly supposition (and not a little bit of smear) rather than encyclopaedic. I regret I am unable to contribute something back to the article at this point. As a final note, my IP address for this edit is with East Midlands Trains (I will readily confess to being a nerd).
