Duplicates information United States third party and independent presidential candidates, 2016, Republican Party presidential candidates, 2016, Democratic Party presidential candidates, 2016. I don't see how this article can add additional information that is not in those other 3 articles. As it stands, the current article is only about third-party candidates.

  • Delete I could have given it the time of the day if most positions hadn't been "unknown". --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 02:25, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a WP:CONTENTFORK of information already included at United States presidential election, 2016. Per WP:NOPAGE, it is more appropriate to delete this spinoff article and instead present the information within the context of the article for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:09, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'm not even quite sure what this is supposed to be, but I certainly don't see anything that isn't already covered or better covered in other existing articles. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Nothing useful to see. Should have been speedy deleted, tbh. --QEDK (T 📖 C) 11:03, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @QEDK:, you can put a speedy tag on the article if you want. I'm just not sure which criteria it meets for speedy deletion. Natg 19 (talk) 18:15, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:CSD#A10, since you said it duplicates existing article content. --QEDK (T 📖 C) 18:36, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Added speedy tag on article. Natg 19 (talk) 19:36, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator and Notecardforfree.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unsourced as well as inaccurate title, since the article does not include positions of either Democrat or Republican candidates. --Ebyabe talk - Opposites Attract ‖ 20:37, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
