This kingdom has been defunct since 1973. This unsourced article looks like unverifiable original research, including about the supposed royal status of living persons (WP:BLP). See also WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Line of succession to the former Austro-Hungarian throne for a similar case. Norden1990 (talk) 12:50, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment It looks like a translation of the ru.wiki article which is sourced to Royal Ark and that’s not reliable. Mccapra (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:DEL-REASON 6: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes). It is impossible to attribute the current line of succession to the Afghan throne to WP:RELIABLE sources, because there is no current line of succession, because the monarchy doesn't exist anymore.

• Delete, per nom and per (some of) the reasons I outlined for the deletion of the current line of succession to the former Austro-Hungarian throne. It's a bunch of non-notable, private citizens who may or may not even want anything to do with the former monarchy. If there is a legitimate movement to restore the Afghan throne, wherein a line of succession is enumerated, and which has been reliably reported, then we could consider keeping this article.

• Delete per nom and the other comments above. Smeat75 (talk) 20:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The problem is not that the monarchy is defunct - it could be re-created - but that there's no law of succession since the 1964 Constitution of Afghanistan was abrogated. Bearian (talk) 16:52, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
