Bangladesh–Yemen relations

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

this article tries to claim there is an actual relationship but each source is about wanting to trade, wanting to co operate more with no evidence of actual significant trade, migration etc. They also want to sign an agreement but haven't. The sources come up when a new non resident ambassador is assigned and then they say the usual want to co operate more statements. LibStar (talk) 11:51, 23 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per nom. Even the nom describes sources in detail of the relations of these two countries.  Sources that state the non-functioning state of relations between two countries are actually about the relations between two countries. On an extreme case, the United States and Cuba have no official relations with each other, yet that state of non-relations is still a notable topic (Cuba–United States relations).  Descriptions of a non resident ambassador relationship is actually a description of their relations. --Oakshade (talk) 04:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * US Cuba have hostile relations which makes notable relations, like north Korea and US. You are using a poor comparison. Bangladesh and Yemen only talk about wanting real trade relations without any evidence of it really occurring. LibStar (talk) 04:53, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The in-depth sources description of no real trade relations or wanting them is actually a state of their relationship. While obviously not your intent, you're making a stronger case of notability of this topic.--Oakshade (talk) 05:27, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Merge with Foreign relations of Bangladesh, where there is already a section on the Middle East with Yemen missing. Philg88 ♦talk 08:52, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - passes WP:GNG, warrants a separate article.-- Zayeem  (talk) 11:20, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. Again we face an AfD nomination that simply assumes that Third World countries aren't capable of having bilateral links of importance. In fact, Bangladesh and Yemen have a historic relationship, shared colonial experiences, centuries of trading relationship. Yemen was actively involved in the politics around the 1971 war. http://books.google.com/books?ei=fASBU97hLYXeOv_rgcAL&hl=en&id=7K5AAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22bangladesh%22+%22south+yemen%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=yemen has hits for 22 pages for 'Yemen' (however, I only have snipped view). I have done some expansion on the 1971 period. --Soman (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * the nomination has nothing to do with third world countries and their ability to have relations. Where is the evidence of centuries of trading? LibStar (talk) 03:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
