List of political parties in Turkmenistan
Delete. Turmenistan is a single-party state. You can't have a list of one thing. We can recreate it when freedom and democracy come to Turkmenistan. —Felix the Cassowary | toːk 13:43, 2 March 2006 (UTC) * Comment Keep There was an opposition group called Unity (Agzybirlik) - banned in January 1990. Members formed the Party for Democratic Development - banned in 1991. This led a coalition called Conference (Gengesh), for democratic reform. So I think there's some scope for an article.

 * Delete - though I appreciate the irony. Changing to Abstain per Crypticfirefly, below. If there are others, they should be documented somewhere, though even a list of two or three items isn't a very good "list" as such. "Lists" are usually 10 or more, no? Anyway, I don't know enough about the issue. GRuban 15:14, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment the title is misleading though - this seems to have been created as an article about political parties rather than as a list. Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk
 * As Dlyons493 said there were political parties (or groups) and they surely exists in underground. The article should be labeled as stub, incomplete, whatever until someone will add the details. This article could also cover period of Czarist Russia and the chaos after WWI. Pavel Vozenilek 21:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It does seem laughable to have a list of one thing.  But I vote "keep" based on Dlyons493's comment and Pavel Vozenilek's observation.  This one party is surely verifiable, the topic is "encyclopedic," and other information can be added. Crypticfirefly 05:49, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
