Keep - This is an official federal region of yemen that was officially accepted as a part of the
National Dialogue Conference. Obviously no new sources would exist about it as attention has drifted towards the Yemeni Civil War. This page should stay, the same way articles about PROPOSED separatist STATES exist here Abo Yemen✉17:18, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
The thing is, in this case it's not likely to become notable soon. The National Dialogue Conference was a full decade ago, and Yemen is facing renewed military actions by a US-led coalition leaving its political future in total uncertainty. There is no reason to assume that these political subdivisions will ever be implemented along the lines of the original proposal. If and when there is progress towards federalization, covered by secondary sources, it will become appropriate to create articles. signed, Rosguilltalk18:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
I wish everyone the best, but it would be much more convincing to have any official communication published regarding the direct subject of the article.

Redirect to
Federalization of Yemen alongside
Azal Region,
Hadramout Region,
Janad Region,
Sheba Region,
Tihama Region. There is no significant coverage of these regions as federal regions of Yemen, although
Aden and
Hadramout are separately notable as historical political and geographical areas. There is no reason to believe that the regions' status or their level of coverage will change anytime soon given the political situation in Yemen at the moment and the fact that the implementation of this federalization plan has been an open-ended proposal since 2017. The current articles are misleading and do a disservice to the reader by implying that these are actually-existing or soon-to-exist divisions. signed, Rosguilltalk17:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Hadramout Region article is a relatively well done article; i think it should be merged with the
hadhramout article. Another thing to do with the Aden and Janad articles is to make them about the geographic and historical region and not the political federal region as they are very notable but no articles about them really exist at the moment. Also can i have some to copy these articles to my sandbox incase they actually become implemented? Abo Yemen✉18:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
My suggestion is that these should be redirects for now, so the text will remain accessible in the pages' history, accessible at any time via the page history or direct link. signed, Rosguilltalk18:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Aha seems fine for me (for articles other than the Aden region and Hadhramout region which i suggest transforming them to articles about the geographical/historical region). Abo Yemen✉18:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
For Hadhramout, is there anything in that scope that isn't covered by
Hadhramaut? For Aden we do appear to currently lack an article that discusses a region beyond the city (other than
Gulf of Aden, which is mostly about the waterway, and various articles about historical states in the area e.g.
State of Aden,
Aden Protectorate,
Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden, etc.). Part of the challenge then would be identifying what the full extent of Aden is, as defined by reliable sources. signed, Rosguilltalk19:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)reply
For the Hadhramout article, the history section is noticeably different; Economy section could be expanded abit by the merge; and the "Architecture & Tourism" section could be added as an "Architecture" section to the main article along with some parts of the "Agriculture" section Abo Yemen✉03:17, 23 February 2024 (UTC)reply
