List of United States presidential elector candidates, 2016

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article PRODded with reason "Huge and useless list of mostly unknown people. Massive fail of WP:NOTADIRECTORY". Article dePRODded by creatto and on the talk page of the article the argument is made that we have lists like this for earlier elections, too. This is incorrect. We have earlier lists of electors, whereas this is a list of elector candidates. Most of these (largely non-notable people) will not even become an elector. This is pure listcruft. Hence: Delete.

 * Delete - A list of the candidates is unwarranted, and as such, I think that this should be deleted and the list of electors be created after the results can be confirmed, and a more informative list can be made. Omega625 (talk) 18:53, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * List of United States presidential electors, 2016 was started in October, and has extensive sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete, this article is largely a duplicate of List of United States presidential electors, 2016, and it is the electors who are legally entitled in the Electoral College based upon the winning candidate in their home state who are most important.--TommyBoy (talk) 05:05, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
