The FRSA postnominal should be removed from the lede and infobox. There is no source for it in the article, and Smith could not have had this postnominal in his lifetime as the organisation only got the Royal title in 1908. (Royal_Society_of_Arts). Moreover, FRSA is not an honour but represents a membership that is open to a wide range of people by paying a subscription. Related discussion here.

I undid this removal of the FRSA postnominal. Consensus was not achieved at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Biography.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:21, 25 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
