"And" theory of conservatism

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article with bad sources and cleanup templates that haven't been touched. Also looks like low relevance as I couldn't find any good info on it. Perfecnot (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep 10 refs for this sized article is pretty good.Dswitz10734 (talk) 15:19, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, does not make sense. Mostly garbage sources. Geschichte (talk) 19:37, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTNEO. The sources used are primarily tied to an independent blog that seemed to have coined the term and a couple of op-eds that speculate on the theory. Nothing seems to indicate that the actual phrase is popular beyond Montgomerie, especially as the "In the United Kingdom" section references two politicians who never actually used the term. —  Ghost River  18:29, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:NOTDICT. Seems like an obscure term. KidAd  •  SPEAK  20:32, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
 * As an ATD redirect to compassionate conservatism; "Montgomerie calls the "And theory of conservatism."...If this sounds a bit like "compassionate conservatism," you're right to see a family resemblance." . Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 11:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Besides The Atlantic, there are some journal articles that refer to the term. But I'm not sure if these articles give the term in-depth coverage or not, which would be required to meet WP:GNG.VR talk 20:21, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
