Third party presidential primaries, 2012[edit]

Content fork of United States presidential election, 2012, all information on this page is available on that one. I also take issue with the title and its implication that most third parties will be holding primaries (several parties' nominees are decided solely by convention, and the numerous independent candidates on here aren't subject to any nominating procedure). Should be redirected to the election page for now, and recreated as Third party (United States) presidential candidates, 2012 much closer to the date of the election. — Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 19:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is silly. In the United States, third parties like the Libertarian Party do not hold presidential primaries to decide who will be the nominee. This is more of a copy of Ron Gunzberger's musings about "potential candidates". Mandsford (talk) 01:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no editorial need to split or duplicate this material. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:29, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect for attribution purposes. The main article did not contain the material about the third party candidates it does now when the supposed spin-off was created. Thus the article was either merged without redirecting, or such a redirect was undone. Deletion would lose relevant edit history. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
