This article was nominated for deletion on 10 July 2008. The result of the discussion was speedy keep.

This article is written in Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Nationality

Given that Carney had to take British citizenship in order to take up the "reserved post" of Governor of the Bank of England, should not his nationality be updated to Canadian-British? 86.2.64.179 (talk) 21:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He did not have to take up British citizenship to take up the position as Governor -- he is not eligible for it until about the end of his term, at least according to the transcripts of this interview. [1]

Arun (talk) 05:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone name a reliable source stating that Mark Carney has since acquired British citizenship? The current source used in the article to support the claim of British citizenship appears to state only that he plans to apply for British citizenship.--Boson (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. He does not yet have British citizenship and the only source for the statement he does specifically says that he won't qualify until the end of his term. I'll update it. Harsimaja (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jacob Rees-Mogg as source

I have removed a recent addition to the article which I believe to be sourced ultimately from Jacob Rees-Mogg. He has a large undeclared financial interest: much of his £100m+ fortune is invested with hedge funds, especially Somerset Capital Management LLP, of which he is, I think, still a director and partner. The hedge fund industry expects Brexit Britain to be a low-tax, low-regulation haven for financial speculation. Wildfowl (talk) 01:21, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that JRM has a conflict of interest; however, he is a prominent (and influential!) politician and I think his comments are worth noting. --Bangalamania (talk) 02:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that his comments are worth noting, as he might be the next British prime minister – but not without noting his conflict of interest. Wildfowl (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024 edits

We must be mindful of the WP:BLP policies here. An entire section on "controversy" with only a single, far-fetched example, is in absolutely no way shape or form due weight for this article. Those wishing to include this content need to come up with solid, policy-based arguments as to why in order to have any chance at seeking a consensus for inclusion. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 17:15, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The material showed no actual controversy, and as listed made false claims, taking a single persons unquoted statement and putting it as a quote from plural "staff members". I have again removed it; it should not be readded until consensus to do so has been found. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 18:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
