Recently created from a redirect, well written, within policy, no copy-vio detected, hook is interesting and cited, and two QPQs are given. Good to go. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 12:10, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Second full review needed as noted above. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:32, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Note - Please note that, within the few hours since this page was recovered from a redirect, it has attracted at least one vanity editor who has been inserting unsourced claims and claims sourced to YouTube videos. The article, at the time a review occurs, may be seriously compromised. If you discover issues, please wait a few hours and check again.

The claim "he was, as of August 2016, couch surfing 'for the time being'" is unsupported by the article's citations, which dates to June 2016 and does not cover current events. Thus, the hook is unverified and the article still contains unsourced claims. ^Falling_Gravity 17:36, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

This was a typo that has been fixed. Above editor is a substantial contributor to article and is, therefore, ineligible to contribute to a DYK review. New reviewer needed. LavaBaron (talk) 17:58, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I haven't contributed "substantially" to the article in its current state as almost all my edits have been reverted (probably for the best, on further review). The article still doesn't prove he's "currently" couch-surfing. Additionally, the claim that Glenn Beck backed Austin Petersen in the same way that Mary Matalin did is un-sourced (see [1]). From what I understand he praised Petersen but stopped short of endorsing. This should be noted. ^Falling_Gravity 19:16, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

You made 5,000+ bytes of edits which are substantial edits. Your above source, "The Libertarian Republic" hobby blog, is in no way RS. New reviewer needed LavaBaron (talk) 20:40, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

See also, this article. If this is also a "hobby blog" then the two Reason posts sourced in the article should probably be removed. ^Falling_Gravity 00:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

This is not a review, but history of the article.

This article was created December 23, 2015.
December 31, 2015, the article was 2921 characters (0 words) "readable prose size"
It went through AFD and on February 21, 2016 was closed as a redirect to Libertarian Party presidential primaries, 2016.
On August 8, 2016, as he stated above, LavaBaron recovered this from the redirect.

The rules say it must be "new" text. As far as I can see, LavaBaron met the requirements on that. The article that went through AFD looked more like a campaign flyer for Petersen's candidacy.

Full review still needed. — Maile (talk) 17:44, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
