Talk:Prohibition Party

Why?

Why are we giving these guys any credibility by having an article on them? Mr. Anon (talk) 16:00, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Because liberals? C®ackeЯ

Since when is a RationalWiki article on a topic evidence of its credibility, may I ask? ListenerX^TalkerX 16:20, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

But the prohibition party is non-notable. The Greens and Libertarians qualify for ballot access in a considerable amount of states every election, but I'm sure the vast majority of people haven't heard of the Prohibition Party. It is only notable in any context for its historical importance, so I suppose you could make an argument in that area. But today, there are probably like 7 people seriously committed to the party.

So? Who seriously believes in the Flat Earth these days either? Peter ^{Urist for Mod!} 05:09, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Since when was this US politics wiki? Тy^talk 05:20, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

A surprising amount of people (probably more than ever before) and I have had an amusing time debating and refuting them. Mr. Anon (talk) 21:26, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

But the prohibition party is non-notable. Thankfully, WP:NOTE is not policy here. We do, however, have a mission-statement plank about "documenting the full range of crank ideas" (emphasis mine). ListenerX^TalkerX 21:41, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

They're historically notable. They've even gotten more people elected to higher office than the Greens and Libertarians combined. Do we have an article on recentism yet? Secret Squirrel (talk) 22:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
