Party colour

VivaSlava, can you elaborate on where you got #1F75FE for the party colour from? There's no UCP branding out yet, so we have nothing to draw on, and it's not included in Template:Canadian party colour.

Don't get me wrong, it seems like a good choice (distinct enough from PC and CPC blues) but I'm wondering if we should hold off until we have something more formal. Madg2011 (talk) 03:53, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

I went through the shades of blue looking for a colour in between the dark blue of the PCs in Alberta, and the light blue of the PCs in other Canadian provinces that was also not the same as Conservative party of Canada or the old Conservative party of Alberta. This seemed appropriate, obviously doesn't have to be permanent. In the little branding I've seen, the Unite Alberta campaign (which was endorsed by both PC and Wildrose top brass) used a shade of blue similar to that of the flag of Alberta.

I asked for #1F75FE to be used in the Canadian Party Colour template until we have an official colour — I think it makes sense to use a placeholder. Jarphi (talk) 16:01, 30 July 2017 (UTC)


The UnitedConservitive.ca new website refers to the party as:

So... watch for something official? Legacypac (talk) 19:02, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Political position

As the majority of seats were held by the Wildrose, before the merger, should the political position of the United Conservative Party be displayed as Right Wing or Centre-Right to Right Wing?

I would wait until after the policy convention to review this, but I don't see much evidence so far the party can be characterized as "centre-right". Jarphi (talk) 15:12, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Not moved per consensus, and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (non-admin closure) Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 18:19, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

United Conservative Party → United Conservative Party (Alberta) – There is another former party based in Chile better known than the Alberta current party. Suggest turn primary namespace into disambiguation, move this page to requested namespace. Me-123567-Me (talk) 17:20, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

  • Support - to disambiguate from other parties and because the party only exists in Alberta on the provincial level. Nixon Now (talk) 17:40, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Oppose the active party is the primary topic. Unless there is a dramatic unknown event the Alberta party will be the nexr government. We don't need a DAB for only to pages, that is against policy. Legacypac (talk) 20:25, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Support - minor-level existing political party in Canada, and the article about the Chilean one was created earlier and have many links to that article rather than the Alberta one. "The active party is the primary topic" is an arbitrary argument, since it doesn't give evidence about that, and both parties could have equal significance. --Sfs90 (talk) 21:27, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Several reasons the current party is primary topic. The Chile party is actually Partido Conservador Unido' and nearly all sources will refer to it that way. It only existed for three election cycles in the 50s and 60s and failed to gain significant support. The typical reader looking for info on UCP is looking for the current party, which is regularly in the news, not a party that functioned in Spanish with a Spanish name. Perhaps the Chile party should be moved to it's Spanish name instead? Legacypac (talk) 00:56, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This article gets about 30 times the pageviews of the Chilean party. There's no need to send such an overwhelming majority to a dab page. Per WP:TWODABS a hatnote is sufficient. Station1 (talk) 08:57, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
  • Strong Oppose - "better known than the Alberta current party" needs a citation. As mentioned by Station1 (talk · contribs), this article attracts far more viewers. In the last 90 days, this article averages 159 daily pageviews, United Conservative Party (Chile) averages 5. Google Trends interest in "United Conservative Party Chile" is zero. Google Trends interest in "United Conservative Party" from Chilean searchers is also zero. Madg2011 (talk) 21:42, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
