What's the GR policy on author names beginning with "Sister"? I usually remove stuff like "Rabbi" or "Father" but not sure about "Sister," since many nuns don't use surnames and just listing someone as "Mary Margaret" seems odd.

We discussed this, and it seems to us that in cases where there is no last name, Sister needs to remain to avoid confusion. But if it's Sister Firstname Lastname, the title should be removed.
