Something conveniently omitted/botched/lost in the recent haphazard move by A. was the usage note, which indicates the following:
As above, I prefer Lieutenant-Governor (Canada) and shall proceed to do so unless compelled otherwise. Moreover, applicable users should be very careful about insinuations of vandalism and edit-warring, since little rationale was provided to justify those comments throughout. You won't get consensus by hurling epithets. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 18:22, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
I've opened an RFC on this matter to get a wider consensus. Ardenn 18:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I've put the article up for a proposed move under policy. This is the place for the debate. Ardenn 16:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
How are Lieutenant-Governmors appointed/nominated in Canada?
Someone asked on the Canadian Project page whether it should be hyphenated. The answer is yes.-- Ibis3 06:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't see why they should be hyphenated. The constitution doesn't hyphenate [2], and only one of the provinces (New Brunswick) does. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
Although the Canadian Oxford (as noted in reference 1 in the article) suggests lower case for lieutenant governor, I would argue that since current useage ( January 22 2007) by all ten provinces is to capitalize the term, that is what should be used at Wikipedia. I have changed it at the general Lieutenant-Governor site, but not here in light of the apparent controversy this has generated in the past. Discuss. Flyguy649 15:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
In case anyone's watching this page, I've restored the article here as, after looking at the history and the earlier discussions, I saw no consensus for any move, and the move was then done by an anonymous ip. As was noted some time ago by others, the Constitution Acts do not use a hyphen in the term "Lieutenant Governor", and nor do the majority of Lieutenant Governors themselves. It thus seems appropriate to have the article under the hyphen-less heading, though explanations of the alternate spelling should certainly remain here. -- Miesianiacal ( talk) 04:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I live in Australia where the governors of the Australian states are the choice of the state premiers concerned. I was therefore surprised to learn that the lieutenant governors of the Canadian provinces, who perform the same functions of the Australian state governors, are in the end the choice of the Prime Minister and not the provincial premiers.
Why is that and has there been any discussions to give that choice to the premiers. 122.108.156.100 ( talk) 13:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
I have started an RfC on this question at Talk:Governor General of Canada. All comments welcome. -- Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:29, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
