Having gone through the party website, both the old one and new one, I'm convinced that this would be a one-man outfit at most. It does not appear to be a serious political organization, the tone is often incoherent and just weird, such as making claims to have 117,000 members or listing members of a future government.

- Comment - when trying to look for the party office, I note that the websites give different addresses, either Hürderstraße 2 or Hürderstraße 4 in Kirchheim bei München. Just that the latter is inside the Maxx Arena facility. And the former is the office of an IT company. From 2009 there is also an address for party office at Zepellinstrasse 10, Garching, [1] which also looks bit odd for a party HQ. --Soman (talk) 00:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- This newspaper clipping from 2002 [2] is seemingly the only evidence of IRL existence of the party. But also this article some pretty wild claims are made, such as having 2,700 party members (300 in Peshawar). --Soman (talk) 00:20, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Searching in Dari (حزب مستقل و دموکراتیک افغانستان) and Pashto (د افغانستان دموکراتیک او خپلواک ګوند) gives zero hits on google. Zero. --Soman (talk) 00:44, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete fails the GNG. A model of WP:BEFORE; chapeau. Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 03:17, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: It fails WP:SIGCOV. Nothing in-depth could be found for this political party. Nihonjinatny (talk) 19:11, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
