List of right-wing publications in the United Kingdom
This page has been in dispute for a long time. It does nothing to constitue what 'right-wing' actually is in terms of publication and lumps together Conservative journals with BNP ones. Other on the talk page have suggested deletion. --Mrclarke 19:47, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep it is certainly the case that the items listed are generally regarded by the enitre UK population, including those who are right-wing, that these publications are right wing. As to whether that is or is not a good thing is where the population differs. N.b. the BNP publications would normally be regarded as far-right, although this is still right-wing. I suspect that the BNP would claim they are not so different to being centre-right. But I really can't see anyone in the UK sensibly claiming that any one of these publications as left-wing.    19:52, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep'. Perfectly good article. If there are content disputes, resolve them on the talk page and through editing.  Don't list an article for deletion just because it has content you disagree with. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. if we deleted this we'd have to delete List of left-wing publications in the United Kingdom as well as half a dozen other articles of related subjects. Jtkiefer 22:44, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't believe that this can ever possibly be NPOV owing to lack of operational definition of left/ right. Delighted to see List of left-wing publications in the United Kingdom go too. Just point me to the other half dozen! There are all sorts of shades of opinion that would have to be considered in any partisan taxonomy of the press. Cutler 00:11, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - actually, merge the lot into an article Partisan taxonomy of the UK press and make it more sophisticated than left/ right. Cutler 00:29, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. We could qualify it by saying "the following publications are often considered right-wing..." or something like that. --Tothebarricades 00:51, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, useful. That said, I like Cutler's Partisan taxonomy of the UK press proposal, and if such an article were written, merging could be fine. - Mustafaa 01:19, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup identifying mainstream and far-right organisations and identifying sources for nominations if possible. Capitalistroadster 01:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
