Coffee-Corner Phenomena

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable per WP:GNG. No Google hits for "coffee corner phenomenon yemen", no non-Wikipedia hits for "coffee corner phenomena yemen". No Google hits either for the Arabic equivalent cited by page creator on the talk page : "ظاهرة الكوفي كورنر". Google seach for "coffee corner yemen" reveals that there is a shop called "Coffee Corner" in the capital of Yemen:, so this may be some sort of joke. Article has a troubled history of creation: see User talk:Imothana. Proposed deletion contested by probable block-evading sockpuppet, who also removed the speedy tag one more time, removed the failed ref tags, and re-factored the talk page just to round things out nicely. Speedy declined by admin on the grounds that A7 doesn't apply here. Please put this poor article out of its misery. Thank you. Scopecreep (talk) 06:02, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Apparently the references links I left wasn't even reviewed rather than read. The second reference on the 2% controlling 80% of the income is quite clear. I don't understand why the admin added "not in citation given" tag to it. I urge you at least to check the references rather than arbitrarily deleting the content every time I try to improve it!


 * Moreover, googling something related to a recent cultural development in Yemen to try to find references or google hits to it seems quite laughable to me. Yemen have an internet penetration of less than 4% internet penetration so please take off your hi-tech western glasses while judging content of people in the third world countries like Yemen. And Scopecreep is simply acting like our former dictator — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwaterweek (talk • contribs) 06:33, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please be WP:CIVIL, and refrain from personal attacks. I did read the references: they do indeed describe inequality, but they do not mention the subject of the article in any way, and therefore don't support what's said in the article. Wikipedia requires WP:Verifiability of all content, so if you're going to write an article about something, it's going to need references. Arabic references would be fine, if they actually support what's said here. Scopecreep (talk) 06:39, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
