Expansion of list

I went through this list and found some issues/suggestions, which would surely be helpful, and I plan on working these in the future.

Per WP:CHRONO and WP:SALORDER, the list should be in chronological order, i.e. from earliest to latest.
The two tables (1832-1968 and 1972-2020) should be merged and:
- Rather than contests won, it should be including delegates received.
- Only those candidates should be included which received at-least 1 delegate. The inclusion criteria of table is bit confusing.
- Suggesting that portraits and "campaign logos" of candidates should be added.
- Other formatting required in some coulumns.

Just added this note on talk page as I feel that after these changes and a expansion in lead, this list can be a possible "FAC". Would request your outpun on the suggestions, as I plan to make these changes soon. (Ping - @Orser67 - (Major contributor)) Thanks!

Hey Kavyansh.Singh, overall I like the sound of those changes. The only one that I think might be difficult is combining the two tables, as they have different columns and different inclusion criteria due to (imo anyway) the changing nature of Democratic nominating contests. I haven't been too active on Wikipedia this year but I'll try to check in periodically. Orser67 (talk) 16:57, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
