Is live action supposed to be hyphenated? I see many articles linking here that have it hyphenated. -- Dan East 01:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Any evidence about where and when this odd, awkward phrase originated? The earliest I recall seeing it was in comic-book advertisements promoting Saturday-morning TV show line-ups in the fall during the early 1970s. It was a strange phrase but generally got the idea across, so I have always assumed the TV networks originated it, for lack of a better phrase. Can anyone cite an earlier use of "live action"?

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus is that usage often reflects contexts in which the term is an adjective and that's why it's hyphenated, while here we have a noun which is normally not hyphenated. ( non-admin closure) В²C ☎ 20:45, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
Live action → Live-action – I've been reviewing several third-party sources, and it seems that the WP:COMMONNAME for this subject includes the hyphen between the words. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:08, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
