- Comment. Hi User:Soman - thanks for your work on the article. Any idea about the ultimate fate of the organisation – did it last until Yemeni unification in 1990? ITBF (talk) 10:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- I can't find anything definitive, I would have presumed its history ended with unification in 1990. Unlike youth organization and trade unions that continued post unification, it appears that Afid was comparatively weaker and would not have endured without state patronage. But looking here https://www.adengad.net/news/693324 and https://www.addalinews.com/Print/16352 there are mentions of a Peasants Union in the Southern movement... unsure if there is any organizational connection. For the purpose of this article I think we can end the article history with 1990 for now, though. --Soman (talk) 11:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at https://www.yafa.news/archives/9941 , it seems there is no direct link between Afid 1976-1990 and the present-day Union of Southern Peasants. --Soman (talk) 11:14, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

New reviewer needed. Z1720 (talk) 13:58, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
@Soman: I've given this a review. I'm ready to pass this, but I'm blah on the hook. Do you have any others? Also, you need to anser the question about when it closed, or if it still exists. --evrik (talk) 18:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say that the connection between the national constitution and a civil society organization is the most hookworthy factoid here. The only other option I see would the arrest of the chairman in 1978 or the cooperation agreements with East Germany. As per the closure of the organization, I don't have any source of an exact date of disbanding and it is quite likely that there was no official or formalized disbanding. When South Yemen ceased to exist, presumably the organization went quietly defunct. --Soman (talk) 10:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- Can you propose some alt hooks? Also work into the piece that, "it is quite likely that there was no official or formalized disbanding. When South Yemen ceased to exist, presumably the organization went quietly defunct." --evrik (talk) 15:30, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- This hasn't moved in nine days, and I think evrik's position on the hook is within bounds for reviewer's discretion. Soman, would you have a way to improve the current suggestion, or would you like to try something else? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't really see the need for an alt hook, but here is one:
- ALT1 - "... that in 1978 the chairman of the Democratic Yemeni Union of Peasants was arrested after the South Yemen government was taken over by Abdul Fattah Ismail?"
- I note that there has still not been any assessment of any of the DYK criteria, I'd invite new reviewers. --Soman (talk) 20:45, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- evrik said they did a full review a while back, although I don't think they spelled it out. Is this good to go, evrik? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:55, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Soman and Evrik: As written, this would deserve {{too many sections}}, and another sentence in the lead wouldn't go amiss. Can these short sections be knocked together?--Launchballer 10:37, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: I've never heard that one before. Okay, I reorganized it and removed a section. --evrik (talk) 16:12, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
