We already have Culture of Yemen, Demographics of Yemen, Tribes of Yemen, and Yemeni diaspora. Most of this article is a WP:ESSAY-like digression on the genetic diversity of Yemenis, which is sourced mostly to primary sources and is largely duplicative of content in Genetic history of the Middle East and the problematic Genetic studies on Arabs. This section is almost certainly AI-written with mush like "Yemen's unique geographic position raises questions about its infuence on the genetic structure of its inhabitants." (what?!). Delete per WP:ESSAY and WP:TNT; this could hypothetically be a real article because the Yemeni people are obviously notable, but this article is completely unworthy.

- Keep. I removed the offending genetics section. The nomination presents no valid reason for deletion that isn't resolved by editing. Katzrockso (talk) 00:47, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Speedy keep under WP:SK#1 and #3, actually. Don't waste editor time with these frivolous nominations, issues with a section of an article aren't remedied by deletion and AfD is not the correct forum to fix these issues. Katzrockso (talk) 00:49, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep issues with a single section of a page doesn't warrant a delete. Agnieszka653 (talk) 23:41, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:HEY. Consideration should be made to semi- protect it for a week or longer. Bearian (talk) 03:20, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
