Delete. Article that was deleted earlier this year per Articles for deletion/Chris Keniston, then recreated as a redirect to his party, but was then revived as a standalone WP:BLP in August (but is different enough this time that G4 speedy is not suitable.) The subject is still a minor party candidate for president, which is not an automatic inclusion freebie in the absence of a demonstrable WP:GNG pass, but the sourcing still isn't appreciably stronger than it was the first time: of the eight sources being cited here, two are primary ones (his own campaign website and a press release from the party); three are glancing namechecks of his existence in "all of your third party options" overview articles rather than substantive coverage about him; one is a "local man runs for president" article in local media serving the town where he lives; one is a Q&A-style interview with him (which is not a class of sourcing that can assist GNG, as it represents the subject talking about himself rather than third parties talking or writing about him); and the one reference left that's independent and non-local and appears to have been substantively about him is an unverifiable deadlink. No prejudice against recreating or restoring a redirect to the party afterward, but the quality of sourcing here still is not good enough to earn him a standalone BLP just for being a minor candidate who has no actual chance of winning the presidency.
