I have slashed-and-burned the article. I believe more is needed, but am through for now. There are several reasons I believe this was necessary:
I could go on, but hopefully that's enough to explain my edits and facilitate a discussion, if necessary. Grayfell (talk) 02:48, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
"Paleoconservatism?" I don't believe that it's a useful or necessary term (nor one that is actually used, to any significant extent). Question probably doesn't interest me enough to engage, but really this article could possibly be eliminated at no loss. 32.221.207.102 (talk) 13:23, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Does anyone know if this is basically an American concept, or if it has wider scope?
If it is, it should say so.
If not, "limited Federal government" is inappropriate in the definition as that is meaningless in most countries.

I recently removed claims backed by blogs and Chronicles and profam, none of these are reliable sources, plus much of the content is completely undue. Whole sections lack citation and what citation there is is backed by these kinds of unreliable sources. These are not RS for anything other than direct quotes of the author.

The source cited in regards to paleoconservatism being linked to the Alt-Right movement neither mentions paleoconservatism, nor any central political ideas of the Alt-Right which could be considered paleoconservative, claiming the opposite, that the Alt-Right lacks core ideals outside of ethnic issues. Richard Spencer in interviews and debates has imparted ideals that more align with National Bolshevism than Paleoconservatism, including economic redistribution and restrictions on free speech. Spencer's politics entirely conflict with Paleoconservatism, including, support for abortions, and is against Christian morality, and has gone as far as to promote paganism, while claiming he is atheist. He had disavowed his previous works when working with libertarianism, and Ron Paul, rendering the influence of paleoconservatism in his ideology dubious, and there is failure to cite a source that actually shows the connection as is claimed.

This article just describes the alt right but in more flattering and white washed terms. This shouldn't be a separate article. It might be prudent to merge them. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 07:37, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
I disagree. The "alt-right" are sanitized white nationalists, who generally support either a whites-only America, or splitting the US up into racial zones. While Paleoconservatism can sometimes have cross-over with soft white nationalism, and a few individuals have a foot in both camps (Sam Francis, for instance), Paleoconservatism is generally fine with a multi-racial and multi-ethnic society - they just defend the white American majority culture, and support it being the dominant culture. Generally, they are fine with other racial groups, so long as they adopt the majority culture. Some, such as Thomas Fleming, have expressed support for blacks retaining their own subculture if they so choose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.171.8.31 (talk) 18:46, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Why is Nick Fuentes on this list? He is a white nationalist who hides behind the paleoconservative label for respectability, not a true paleoconservative. Most paleo-cons are fine with a multi-racial, multi-ethnic society. What they oppose is a multicultural society, which is not the same thing.
I added NR citations for Tucker Carlson and Robert Novak. The Novak citation is an old one that used to be a dead link. Note that over at the Robert Novak page I also added a comment on how the "paleo" label is disputed.
I went ahead and deleted John T. Flynn as well. His name had been up there for a very long time, but we've discussed this before and it's apparent that he died before "paleoconservative" as a label even existed. This currently leaves Michelle Malkin as the only person on the list without a citation. I don't know anything about her. Maybe someone else can deal with her?

Nick Fuentes adopts the paleoconservative label for optics. Including him in the list of paleoconservative commentators and columnists could mislead readers by suggesting an association between his views and paleoconservatism as a whole. His expressed views align more closely with antisemitism and white nationalism, fundamentally diverging from the tenets of paleoconservatism as an ideology and framework. Regarding Alex Jones, the same reasoning applies. Alex Jones's views align more with pushing overt conspiracy theories than with advocating for the principles of paleoconservatism. The cited commentators and columnists should be known for promoting paleoconservatism, rather than differing ideals and principles, such as white nationalism and conspiracy theories. 159.115.9.45 (talk) 05:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
