Delete as certainly questionable for the applicable notability.

Delete. A person does not get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate in a minor party's presidential primary (and even for the major parties, the articles exist because they already had preexisting notability for other things, not just because they're candidates in the primary.) While the presidential election is that rare political beast that's so widely covered that even a non-winning candidate who fails
WP:NPOLcan sometimes still clear
WP:GNG, that means the candidate on the general election ballot, not every candidate in the primary — and the media coverage still has to actually materialize. No prejudice against recreation after the Libertarian Party convention if he wins and the GNG piles up as a result — but the mere fact of being a candidate in the primary doesn't get him an article today.

Redirect – not notable, but he is noteworthy enough to list as a 2016 LP candidate, with non-promotional RS. –
