Talk:Third-party and independent candidates for the 2016 United States presidential election

Limit criteria for the Summary table IOT make useful
As it stands the Summary has 32 columns which spread across my big screen – and way beyond. The criteria for including the names is way too broad. E.g., "1,000 votes or were on a state ballot". This is in violation of WP:NOTTRIVIA because we are presenting meaningless data. The columns could be cut by 7 if the criteria were "1,000 votes and were on a state ballot". Better yet, the criteria could be "10,000 votes and on a state ballot". Comments? – S. Rich (talk) 02:31, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Taxpayer Party of Michigan
Why is the Taxpayer Party of Michigan listed as a seperate party that also nominated Castle? My understanding is that this is simply the Michigan affiliate/chapter of the Constitution Party. SecretName101 (talk) 00:39, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

No ballot access
The section "No ballot access" currently includes at least one person (Robby Wells) who, as I understand, never had either ballot access OR write-in access in any state. How can you possibly be a "candidate" if nobody anywhere can actually vote for you? I can understand that people like Wells were kept in the article before the election, when there was still a theoretical possibility that they might obtain at least write-in access somewhere, but if they didn't, I think they should be removed. Otherwise, the article would have to include every semi-notable person who vaguely expressed an intention to run for president but never did anything about it. Jah77 (talk) 19:06, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
