This was raised several months ago on the main article on the primaries and there have been and continue to be some comments with useful points, but I don't really think there was an attempt to actually measure consensus.
I was probably one of the larger detractors from including Uygur as a major candidate because I felt that the coverage was not sufficient because it only covered his announcement, but now that it has been two months and he continues to get some coverage, I've somewhat re-evaluated and think that based on the criteria as written, Uygur should be a major candidate. So number one, does everyone agree?
Uygur is not a natural-born citizen, and is ineligible to become President. It's not Wikipedia's job to determine this on our own. However, Uygur has already been kicked off the ballot after filing a valid petition in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Arkansas due to not being a natural-born citizen. Additionally, he also did not make the ballot in Iowa, Alabama, Maine, Tennessee, and Florida. He's only on the ballot in Oklahoma, where he might be kicked off too,. If Uygur is unable to even make the ballot, the rationale for calling him a "major" candidate is incredibly slim because his chances of impacting the election are zero.
One solution that I would tentatively support is adding Uygur as a major candidate but remove him if he is excluded from the ballot in states with more than 1843 pledged delegatesCite error: The <ref>
tag name cannot be a simple integer (see the
help page).. This will allow the lawsuits regarding Uygur on the ballot to play out in court, and exclude him from being a "major candidate" if it is not possible for him to win the nomination. Thoughts?

Both Williamson and Phillips took part in a forum with Cenk. Logo can be uploaded from his campaign site. Can't myself for a few days per Wiki bylaws. -- FightingWhales ( talk) 20:28, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
