There should be a high bar when it comes to spinning off a full article about election reactions. Category:International reactions to elections is mainly populated by countries taking positions on disputed elections such as those in Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Iran, plus sui generis events such as the Brexit and Catalan independence referendums. I can't see how that's the case here. Johnson became the new Conservative leader. Other party leaders opposed that. He became the new prime minister. British allies supported that. This event is so mundane it could be covered in summary style in 2019_Conservative_Party_leadership_election#Domestic_and_international_reaction, which it already is. Interestingly, the section in that article doesn't start with a hatnote link to this page. Unknown Temptation (talk) 21:38, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: agree with nom; most of this comes under WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTNEWS. Wikipedia has an odd obsession with cataloguing trivial “reactions” that tertiary sources pay absolutely no attention to. Bondegezou (talk) 08:08, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, for the same reasons. Summary within the election article seems far more appropriate. CipherRephic (talk) 09:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with nom that reaction articles should be for events of major significance or controversy, not the election of a leader of a political party, particularly given the reactions consist almost entirely of various international leaders expressing their congratulations sourced to Twitter/X.

Delete per nom, event has not shown to be unique to warrant a separate reactions article. Reactions are WP:ROUTINE, fall under WP:NOTNEWS. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The nominator put up a very reasonable argument, and I am also arguing towards their direction. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 15:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
