This article is unsourced original research. The subject is ambiguous, and is much better covered in 2 existing articles: Allies of World War I and Allies of World War II. The article is effectively an orphan: links to it are invariably better going to Allies of World War II. I suggest the article and Western Allied, an equally ambiguous redirect, be deleted.

• Delete. The term is used, but not necessarily in a consistent or well-defined way. The Western Allies are just those Allies that a given author considers Western. As a term, there is not enough discussion of it to warrant an article. Srnec (talk) 19:11, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is a commonly-used term in regards to World War II (where it's usually applied to the British Empire/Commonwealth and the US). Nick-D (talk) 07:43, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and Redirect per BD2412. It's a term that typically is interchangeable with the Allied Powers.4meter4 (talk) 04:06, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
