Deletion of Diane Beall Templin

Comment: When I nominated the page for deletion, I missed the last sentence which says that she ''became the American Party candidate with Linda Patterson as her running mate'' in 2008. According to American Party (1969)|the Wikipedia article about the party for which she was the presidential nominee, Templin was the presidential nominee for the party 3 times: in 1996, 2004, and 2008. About 2,000 votes are recorded in the table for the 1996 race, but zero votes recorded for the two other races (I guess she was unable to run as a write-in candidate and vote for herself?). While I would agree that presidential nominees of minor parties that have ballot access do pass , in her case, her candidacies appear to further support that she is just a perennial candidate

Comment: couldn't find sources that satisfy  either, nearly all the sources I could find are entries in directories. Although rather interestingly, there is a mention in a https://books.google.com.au/books?id=AOXSDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA55&lpg=PA55&dq=%22Diane+Beall+Templin%22+-wikipedia&source=bl&ots=E_6KxuFvy9&sig=ZnzBOockvV0o-Gbgp5uTMHvq5Vs&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi2ouWtm__bAhVVFYgKHbTqALgQ6AEIrAEwIA#v=onepage&q=%22Diane%20Beall%20Templin%22%20-wikipedia&f=false novel

Comment: Even at the presidential level, non-winning candidates are still not granted an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing as candidates. Major party candidates typically receive enough coverage to clear  ''regardless'' of whether they won or lost, and normally already have other preexisting notability claims for other reasons prior to running for president ''anyway'' — but minor or fringe candidates don't necessarily have either of those things, and "was a minor presidential candidate" is ''not'' a strong enough notability claim to ''exempt'' a minor or fringe candidate from having to have either of those things. But the references here are almost all |primary sources that do not help to establish notability at all, and the only one that's actually media coverage is a blurb in her own hometown newspaper. That's not enough coverage to make a fringe candidate notable ''regardless'' of what office she was running for
