Comment: to Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016: Does not appear to meet  or  on coverage in reliable secondary sources in or out of the article. There are currently https://www.lp.org/candidates/presidential-candidates-2016 12 recognised candidates for the Libertarian Party candidacy. Though accomplished, he doesn't appear to get an end-run professionally with https://www.researchgate.net/researcher/2091767389_MA_Feldman few cites or other hits (and FWIW, he does not appear to meet the inactive otability (doctors) either

Comment: As things stand right now, the sourcing here is ''far'' too dependent on ''unreliable'' and ''non-independent'' sources (e.g. YouTube videos, |blogs, |primary source public relations profiles on the websites of directly affiliated organizations, and content where he's the ''author'' and not the ''subject'' of the cited reference), which is ''not'' the kind of sourcing it takes to get a person into Wikipedia. A candidate in a party primary is not entitled to a Wikipedia article on that basis itself, but rather gets a Wikipedia article ''only'' if they were ''already'' eligible for one ''before'' running in the primary — but ''nothing'' that's been written or sourced here demonstrates that he had any preexisting notability at all. Given that this is the ''presidential'' primary, it's possible that merely winning the nomination ''could'' be enough notability to get him over the bar — for most offices it isn't, but most offices don't generate even a fraction of 0.0000001 per cent as much media coverage as the presidential race gets. And even if that ''does'' happen, it still doesn't confer an ''automatic'' inclusion freebie — if the |reliable source coverage still doesn't take a ''big'' jump afterward, then he ''still'' won't get to keep an article that's sourced like ''this''. No prejudice against recreation in the future if he wins the party's nomination and the coverage of him increases accordingly — but until that happens, he doesn't get to use Wikipedia as a campaign tool

Comment: per nom, Bearcat and . As a creator and editor of several different articles about minor-party and lesser-known candidates, I would really like to say "keep". However, after a closer look at of the sources provided (and a search for others), I have to conclude that the assessments of the delete !voters are correct. The vast majority of the sources are either: primary; provide no significant coverage of the subject, only a mention or passing reference; are written or created ''by'' the subject, rather than independent coverage ''about'' the subject; or are non-|RS (e.g. the blog Irregular Times). That leaves us with only a modicum of mainly local coverage about his current campaign, and these fall under . It has already pointed that just an being an unelected candidate is not enough - in and of itself - to achieve notability under . In the event that he actually wins the Libertarian nomination for president, the article should be recreated as he will then be the nominee of a notable party on the ballot in enough states to have at least a mathematical possibility of winning the election. For the time being though, sorry to say, he's just not notable

Comment: per  and notability guidelines as spelled out in . Quoting from the former: : "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article'." So, considering that merely being a candidate does ''not'' establish notability, that leaves us with the following questions
