Far-sightedness → Farsightedness – This term is used more often without that hyphen than with the hypen. See this ngram. Move per WP:COMMONNAME. – Treetoes023 (talk) 03:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and the convincing common name n-gram. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is the hyphen a WP:ENGVAR issue? See American and British English spelling differences#Compounds and hyphens. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BarrelProof: British English doesn't use the term "farsightedness", it uses the term "long-sightedness" (which does have a hyphen). – Treetoes023 (talk) 03:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
