Henri Galinon, DEFLATIONARY TRUTH: CONSERVATIVITY OR LOGICALITY?, The Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 65, Issue 259, April 2015, Pages 268–274, https://doi.org/10.1093/pq/pqu087

Abstract
It has been argued in the literature that the deflationists’ thesis about the dispensability of truth as an explanatory notion forces them to adopt a conservative theory of truth. I suggest that the deflationists’ claim that the notion of truth is akin to a logical notion should be taken more seriously. This claim casts some doubts on the adequacy of the conservativity requirement, while it also calls for further investigation to assess its philosophical plausibility.
