Qadamkhel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I hate to AFD this because, if it is indeed an actual ethno-tribal group in Afghanistan, it should be kept. However, it has no sources and when I checked Google Books, JSTOR, and Google News, I could find nothing that actually proves this is a real thing. There appears to be a geographic location called "Qadam Khel" (though even this isn't entirely clear) and I found one mention of a "Qadam Khel Council" but neither of those demonstrate that Qadamkhel is an Afghan tribe. Due to the complete absence of any discoverable sources, I believe this should be deleted (without prejudice for future recreation) to avoid the possibility of a WP:HOAX. The article was created four years ago by Qadamkhel as his/her only contribution so it may be that "Qadamkhel" as an ethno-tribal group is simply the individual aspiration of one person who lives in the Qadam Khel region for its residents.

 * Comment Not sure about it being a tribe, but there seems to be a village called Qadamkhel in Andar District, Afghanistan (some mentions:). Some sources also spell it as "Qadem Khel" . There is also a mention of a "tribal elder from Qadamkhel" here. Bennv3771 (talk) 06:01, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete – Can't find any sources anywhere to even verify this as a tribe. No prejudice against recreation as a geographic article if the village meets WP:GEOLAND. North America1000 14:56, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
