The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
Keep. That's my understanding, too, that we don't stick titles such as "Count" in there, unless it is Count of someplace after the name. This is like having
Sir Isaac Newton as the article name, which it is not. Furthermore, as Recury discusses below, since he's known for real work and not just being a holder of a title, keep the title stuff in the intro.

Keep since he is apparently well-known as "Henri de Baillet-Latour" through his work with the Olympics. I don't pretend to know much about him though, so if someone could show otherwise, I would reconsider.

To be honest, I'm not sure where it should go, but I just wanted to say that looking at one or two other articles for some kind of precedent is generally not a good idea since there is a very real chance that those aren't correct either.
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles) says it should be something like "Henri, Xth Count de Baillet-Latour", but it also says to use whatever is most common in English. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since he is most known for his work with the Olympics and not as a nobleman wouldn't his most common name simply be "Henri de Baillet-Latour"?

I found
this translation of an article that's probably in Flemish or Dutch on a blog. If anyone's interested in hunting down the original, it contains a lot of information on the subject of this article.
