This article is an essay without any sources or references. The term "small-c" is used to be clear the reference is not to the political party of that name. However Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The Four Deuces (talk) 22:25, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Conservativism, if any refs can be found for this phrase being used, put one in the article with a sentence.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:08, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Must be a ton of sources on "small-c conservative"/"conservative with a small c"; if no one's got the energy to build an article out of them then redirect as it's a fairly self-explanatory term anyway. Declan Clam (talk) 22:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Notable term even found in Wiktionary. Used commonly by Democrats as well  Used in very current news articles   and a slew more.  477 cites as phrase on googlebooks.  20 usages as phrase in the NYT, including  on 31 Oct 2009.  Thus showing common usage of the term in its entirety, acceptance of the term by major media, including the NYT. Notability similary is shown by the uses given. Not a close call by a mile, and not mergeable as such either. Collect (talk) 14:16, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a notable distinction and so it is easy to add sources. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
