Michael Morris should be referred to in this template as "Lord Killanin", the name by which he was commonly known as IOC President. We can see this in sources such as Elections of the Presidents of the International Olympic Committee from the Olympic Studies Centre, where he is referred to as "Lord Killanin" repeatedly and never as Michael Morris. In his New York Times obituary, he is called "Lord Killanin" five times before the first mention of "Michael Morris" (and twelve times in all). He was called Lord Killanin (without the name "Michael Morris" being referred to) in newspapers from the USA, Canada, and the UK. He was even known as "Lord Killanin" in Portuguese and French. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:27, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
