The result was   delete. WP:SNOW. No prejudice to its recreation as the subject develops in reliable sources, but it would be wise to first have a discussion somewhere about whether the time is right yet. postdlf (talk) 18:45, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Complete list of candidates for the United States presidential election, 2016

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced list without any current notability, no official campaigs or announcements are being made. Two of the three candidates return very, very few internet search results anyway. WP:CRYSTAL (yes, the election will happen, but if any of these people will really try to run remains to be seen; way too early). Fram (talk) 08:12, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * delete per above and because of the gross false advertizing: this is really a list of speculations about who might run in 2016 which is obviously not our purview. Mangoe (talk) 13:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. There's also no references saying anything about it, and if there were, it still wouldn't be good enough for an article. Supernerd11 :D Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 14:12, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't mind the eventual creation of such a list, but this violates WP:CRYSTAL, WP:V, and WP:HAMMER. This is far too soon; primaries for 2014 have not even happened! So I'd delete. Bearian (talk) 21:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
