I'm doing a quick workup here on a potential AfD for traditional marriage movement

The key problem is that the phrase "traditional marriage movement" is a neologism. Google finds only 118 uses that aren't "very similar to the 118 already displayed" (generally automated copies of other uses.) Of those 118, many are links related to Wikipedia (reuse of the content), or are part of some larger phrase ("anti-traditional-marriage movement", "Defense of traditional marriage" movement") or have scare quotes ("traditional marriage" movement). Clearly, this is not a term generally used by anyone, it is not WP:COMMONNAME. (In contrast, a search for "same-sex marriage opponents" brings up 650 not-very-similar hits, a similar number for "gay marriage opponents", about 750 each for "opponents of gay marriage" and "opponents of same-sex marriage".) In trying to build an article around the neologism, the editors have been running consistently into the problem that, not being in common use, it doesn't have a common definition. There are claims that it is somehow something more than just the opposition to same-sex marriage in the United States, and attempts to lump in any opposition to same-sex marriage. There is material in here which would form the basis of an "opposition to same-sex marriage in the United States" article, perhaps, and that topic would seem to be descriptive, in contrast to a phrase like "traditional marriage movement". "Defense of traditional marriage" could shown as an argument for the opposition, rather than trying to manufacture a distinct movement. Checking "What Links Here", there are a number of wiki pages that link to this page -- but many of those are actually linking to "traditional marriage", which forwards to this topic, or are clear in context to be talking about the concept of "traditional marriage" rather than about a political movement.
