 * Keep Article is about leader of the peaceful southern mobility movement. Marginalized people shouldn't be marginalized on wiki too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerdigrass (talk • contribs) 06:48, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: above vote is by a WP:SPA who is a possible WP:SOCK of the page creator. -- Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 17:24, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm not gonna lie. I was motivated to create a WP account when I saw the issue on this pages a few days ago, when I saw it was relisted I felt obliged to vote to keep since I know about the person and the southern movement and also help edit, but I'm not a WP:SOCK. I've been following the war in Yemen and understand the South Yemen history and people. Nerdigrass (talk) 02:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)]


 * Delete per WP:TNT. Even if this person was notable, the state of the article is 100% unacceptable with external links and dubious content. If someone comes along willing to prove notability and create an article with RS, then all the power to them. Delete for now. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:12, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
