List of Libertarian Party candidates in the United States presidential election, 2016

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Virtually duplicate content of that included in United States third party and independent presidential candidates, 2016#Libertarian Party and Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016#Candidates. Thus, no apparent compelling need for a standalone article. Sourced almost entirely by primary and non-WP:RS material, fails WP:GNG, WP:42 and WP:DUE. Plus, there is seemingly an infraction of WP:COI, as the username of the article's creator (who has few or no other edits outside this topic) matches the name of the candidate who appears at the top of the listing (giving the appearance that WP:PROMO is at issue here as well).
