There is ample precedent for the Dominion of Canada article.

Please assist I would like someone to add Category:Unprintworthy redirects and Category:Redirects from alternative names to this article. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
In my opinion, Dominion of Canada clearly should redirect to Canada, as the two terms are synonymous. User:Elevatorrailfan seems to feel that modern Canada is a successor state to the Dominion of Canada and that the transition happened in 1953. I do not believe that there is historical evidence for this. We have had this discussion before, and the consensus is that the country was never formally named "Dominion of Canada", nor was there ever a formal abolishment of the term dominion as a description of Canada; it has simply gradually gone out of use.

Since the Dominion of Canada redirects to Canada, I think this edit needs to be restored to this period. Canada became an independent state since 1982. The 1867-1982 period covered Canada which was still part of the United Kingdom. Wrestlingring (talk) 23:13, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
The proposing editor has retired so I think this can be closed. Flat Out (talk) 05:02, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Thought it might be good to make some mention of what happened to use of the term. Added this. --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:00, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
