This link was added to the article after discussion on the WP Reliable Sources Noticeboard. See: WP:RSN exercise. No information from the CCHT link has been put into the body of the article in the form of citations because it has not yet been verified for 100% accuracy by the Victoria County History project for Cumbria. (This will take some years to do). Laplacemat (talk) 10:06, 06 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Broughton-in-Furness → Broughton in Furness – Per the Ordnance Survey and road signs. The non-hyphonated version is also currently used in this article's text. Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:16, 15 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Weak oppose — weak because some sources do indeed use the non-hyphenated form, but oppose because various others[1][2][3][4] retain the hyphens. While usage remains split, best not to re-title. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:48, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Interesting that the 3rd source does use no hyphens in text ("Broughton in Furness CE Primary School") even though it uses them in the title. Vision of Britain uses no hyphens in the name of the title put the quote does use hyphens, maybe hyphens were more common in the past but old maps also don't show hyphens. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:27, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Weak oppose: Where there's evidence for both hyphenated and non-hyphenated forms, my preference is to hyphenate to reduce ambiguity. In text, does "Broughton in Furness" mean a place called "Broughton" that is in Furness, or a place called "Broughton in Furness"? Hyphens remove that ambiguity. -- Dr Greg talk 12:39, 16 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
