I can't find anything suggesting this is more than a
trivial cross-categorisation; but even worse, I can't find any source at all to support the statements made in the lead, making me think the subject itself is actually
WP:OR, in addition to the blatant
WP:LISTN fail.

Delete - fails
WP:NLIST as I cannot find any sources discussing this as a group. While the information in the article is reasonably well sourced ultimately this is
WP:OR as this does not seem to be a category discussed by sources.

Delete - I was able to find a few things that talked around the idea of former presidents having lost incidental or unrelated elections for other things and it seems to be a something that the presidential trivia-mongers are interested in. That said, we require significant coverage, or at least enough coverage that we can be certain this isn't the original research of Wikipedians. The fact that the lede is a mess, and contradicts the content included therein, just adds to the issues. St★lwart111 14:27, 8 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete Seems unnecessary for a wiki
