[edit] Practical conservatism

Possible original research. The term "practical conservatism" gets 713 Google hits, and they all seem to use the term in different ways. (A search for "practical conservatism" "frank zappa" gets 152 hits.) Szyslak ( [ +t, +c, +m, +e ]) 06:06, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - I suggest that the article either be kept as it is or merged with centrism. Either way, there's some valuable info here that I don't want to lose. (Ibaranoff24 06:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC))
• Strong delete. POV title, not a notable term, and it looks pretty personal-essay/original-researchy. I don't see anything worth merging anywhere or any value in having a redirect. Blackcats 07:35, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong delete. Original research, POV, non-notable. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 11:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - If a person's politics are centered, you don't get to still use a right-leaning label. Endomion 16:35, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Then why did Frank Zappa call himself a "conservative"?

FYI: The term "Conservative" is NOT a right-leaning label. (Ibaranoff24 03:42, 28 December 2005 (UTC))
