This article fails to meet the notability guidelines, Reliable sources and Verifiability --Alborz Fallah (talk) 15:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, we can verify that Aref Ahmadi and Karox Ahmadi represent a group based in Oslo, Norway calling themselves the Kurdistan Independence Party/Independence Party of Kurdistan/PSK, but the actual nature of the group is unverified (more than two people?) and it's almost certainly not notable. So, delete and redirect to Action Party for the Independence of Kurdistan. Fences  &amp;  Windows  16:54, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of notability from the article, no English-language source for the English-language Wikipedia. It was founded 3 or 4 years ago, but the rest of the information is lacking.  If it's a real political party, one would think that it had candidates on the ballot somewhere.  Kurdistan independence is not a new concept. Mandsford (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment; stating "If it's a real political party, one would think that it had candidates on the ballot somewhere" regarding an underground/exile party from Iran shows a rather meagre understanding of the political situation in Iran. Some links mentioning the party;, , , , , . --Soman (talk) 14:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Quite right about the ballot box statement, politics is not exactly free and fair in Iran. What do those stories say about the party, and are the sources reliable? (I can't read them, it's not Farsi as Google translate returns gibberish). Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * They are Kurdish language blogs . --Alborz Fallah (talk) 08:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, they are not blogs. --Soman (talk) 11:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So... what are they and what do they say? Fences  &amp;  Windows  03:28, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * that's a more trickier question. The PDKI links have passing mentions of the party's participation in events. Ñot sure about others. --Soman (talk) 14:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: Sounds like a friends and family group to me. Certainly not a party! Must be deleted ASAP.--Professional Assassin (talk) 11:45, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
