 * Comment. This article is apparently based largely on this 2004 article from the Weekly Standard.  Most of the "original research" here may be in the choice of a title.  No opinion yet as to whether this should be kept. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 18:40, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence that this phrase is used to describe those people, or indeed that those people are a cohesive enough group to need a distinct name. Fails WP:OR--ThePaintedOne (talk) 18:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is very much a dictionary definition as it sits. Ideally it should be part of a broad article Conservatism in the United Kingdom, equivalent to Conservatism in the United States. Unfortunately, we have the latter but not the former. I would suggest that the author rename this piece and expand the coverage. As it sits, deletion seems harsh but more or less inevitable.

 * That particular phrase wouldn't really be used in the UK because of potential confusion with the Conservative Party (UK), which is the same context that 'conservative' is being used here, i.e. a member or supporter of the party rather than a person of a particular ideology. Looking at thier article, I would suggest that if this were to live anywhere it would be here Conservative_Party_(UK), but reading that it looks like 'Traditional Conservative' is used in much the same way as this phrase, but with much greater depth in that article, so other than a non-notable name there's nothing much to merge really--ThePaintedOne (talk) 20:45, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete original research. There is no such categorisation in UK political history.  The article describes very thinly some traditional centre-right views in post-War Britain and has no encyclopedic value.  MLA (talk) 22:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
