Progressive Youth Organization

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The organisation does not meet the relevant notability criteria: it is not inherently notable (WP:ORGSIG), and the coverage (or lack thereof) in reliable sources fails the criteria at WP:SIRS. There is only one source provided in the article, and coverage in that is far from significant (see WP:ORGDEPTH), since the PYO is only ever mentioned in passing. I have not been able to attribute any notable activities or events to the group, so I would argue it is safe to say that the scope of their activities was minimal.

 * Keep - this is not a difficult case, and WP:BEFORE doesn't seem to have been performed well here. The Sholaye movement had significant impact on Afghan politics and society, and is amply covered in academic literature. Here is a book wholly dedicated to the Sholaye movement,, with an edition in Italian as well. A few additional examples of how the group is covered in literature,
 * "The youth wing of Sho'la-yi Jawed, known as Sazman-i Jawanan-i Mutarraqi, the Progressive Youth Organization, was noted for its militancy and between 1963 and 1973 its members clashed violently with Islamists, pdpa supporters and state security organs."
 * ""During a bitter ideological debate that arose between the Islamists and supporters of the pro-Beijing Sazman-e-Javana-e-Mutarqi (Progressive Youth Organization) known as Shula-e-Javid (Eternal Flame) on the campus of Kabul University in June 1972, a bloody fight broke out which resulted in the death of Saidal Sukhandan , a well known member of the organization , and the injury of numerous others ."
 * "Sazman - e - Demokratik- e - Nawin, the Neo - Democratic Organization of Afghanistan ( NDOA ) , was also founded in 1965. The organization stressed class struggle and revolu- tionary armed uprising as a means of ending class oppression and building a socialist society. A great number of women of both white- and blue - collar backgrounds supported the organization , and some even became active members."
 * "Sazman - e - Jawanan - e - Mutaraqi, the Progressive Youth Organization or PYO that split into several factions in the mid - 1970s ( Akhgar , Paikar , Khurasan , Sazman - e - Azadi Bakhsh - e - Mardum - e - Afghanistan , People's Liberation Organization or SAMA , Sazman - e - Azadi - e - Afghanistan , Afghanistan Liberation Organization or ALO , and others ) advocated revolu- tionary armed struggle as the only means to bring fundamental political..."
 * "...which was followed by formation of the Progressive Youth Organization (PYO), popularly known as Sholay-i Jawid, a year later. These two organisations became fierce rivals as proponents of the Soviet- and Chinese-style communisms in the country. From the outset, the PYO included a number included a number of prominent Hazaras in its leadership, placing it in a superior position in recruitment of Hazara intelligentsia." --Soman (talk) 02:39, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
