The "Prohibition Party" was the ballot designation of a single candidate in a single election. Said candidate received 0.8% of the vote. There's nothing to suggest this was a real, organized party, or that the person and/or their candidacy was in any way notable. In fact, there's so little to say about this so-called party that the page has remained unchanged (except a calculation of their vote percentage) since its creation in 2004, and I can't foresee any significant information being uncovered about a forgotten fringe candidate. — Kawnhr (talk) 17:57, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is really just a biography of an unsuccessful (and therefore non-notable per WP:NPOL) political candidate, titled with his self-conferred ballot affiliation instead of his name in an attempt to make it look like an article about a political party instead of a non-notable biography. But even the inclusion standards for political parties don't grant automatic inclusion to every "party" that's ever appeared on a ballot either, and still require evidence of actual registration as a true political party and evidence of reliable source coverage about the party, and this article isn't showing any of that either.
