Can anyone demonstrate this term being used outside the United States?
- Bump The article cites zero non-US references, and no references for anyone on the "List" being referred to as a Second lady. Can anybody cite sources for this? 162.208.168.92 (talk) 02:48, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

- I don't know, I feel like this is a solution in search of a problem. Most of the second spouses have historically been female, so I think that the current title with a redirect here for Second gentlemanworks fine.

- Oppose. Second lady is a good topic with a recognisable name. We have come up with noting better. Male spouses, female heads of state, and various GLBTetc combinations can validly be part of this article with redirects.

- Oppose. There really aren't any better alternatives. Rreagan007 (talk) 06:26, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
