Oppose. According to the existing guideline (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British nobility) the plain name is normally used however "if the name is ambiguous and the baronetcy is the best disambiguator from other people with that name, use the full style as the article title: Sir John Brunner, 2nd Baronet (with both prefix and postfix); he shares the name John Brunner with his father and several others. " In this case the plain name is George Duckett (we don't use middle names unless widely used in the sources) and that clashes with other titles and, potentially, the 2nd Baronet - see George Duckett. So the present title should stay. Bermicourt (talk) 07:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Jax 0677, George Duckett (1st Baronet) would violate WP:NCBRITPEER, there's a styling for when baronet is included in the article title, and it should never be included without "Sir". The moving of the article you mentioned, of the 3rd baronet, wasn't particularly based on policy or guidelines other than a reference to NCBRITPEER without checking to see if there are other people with the same name, and without checking to see if the guideline cited was met or not. I'd say, per NCBRITPEER, that shouldn't've been moved, but it having been moved (rightly or wrongly) isn't really an argument for this to be moved as well.
