Nom does not believe page should be deleted. This is a procedural RfD to resolve repeated redirects. LavaBaron (talk) 20:37, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Deletion or Redirect Meets our GNG. Austin Petersen has been the subject of focused biographical profile stories - dated before and after his failed candidacy - in the Kansas City Star, National Review, Reason Magazine, and KYW-TV. He has been mentioned as part of round-up stories by CNBC, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Washington Times, and Washington Post. Previous issues with this article which resulted in its justifiable deletion - namely, it was sourced to a combination of YouTube videos and Libertarian fan blogs - have now been resolved.

Delete Most of the information mentioned in the above comment is repeated stories already in the numerous deleted variations of the Austin Petersen article attempts. Since the end of the party convention Petersen has not been news-worthy. Bunco man (talk) 20:51, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016 as per previous nom. The articles cited don't add up enough to meet the "significant press coverage" requirement of WP:NPOL IMO. - SanAnMan (talk) 21:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, you're mistaken. Biographical profile stories (not just incidental mentions), published in Kansas City Star, National Review, Reason Magazine, and KYW-TV meet the 'significant press coverage' requirement of WP:NOL. This is established through wide precedent of other minor party candidates, see: Darrell Castle, Evan McMullin, Rocky De La Fuente, Ken Fields, etc. etc. WP:IDONTLIKEIT by Libertarian activists is not a reason to delete.
