Was Yemane ever a member of the TPLF?[edit]

@Mo20m0: Was Yemane ever a TPLF member? It looks like this edit was made in in good faith by someone editing too quickly without reading carefully enough. [[Category:Independent politicians in Ethiopia]] would be better, it seems to me. Boud (talk) 23:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. --Bushel C andle 12:40, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Patronymic?[edit]

Do we know if Yemane Niguse followed the {{patronymic name}} convention common in Ethiopia and Eritrea? Currently we have Niguse as the main name throughout the text. Boud (talk) 23:19, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Objection to PROD[edit]

I object to the proposed deletion of this article:

we have a mainstream Ethiopian media source, Borkena, that reports on Yemane and his leadership of a group opposed to the former dominating party in Ethiopia, the TPLF;
we have a major Oromo media source, Kichuu, reporting on Yemane being sufficiently independent that several groups disliked his leadership of part of the Tigrayan opposition;
both mainstream sources state that Yemane was killed for his political activities.

Regarding the currently redlinked nature of these two mainstream sources, please keep in mind the systematic demographic bias on en.Wikipedia. Instead of proposing the deletion of this article, it would be better to start off by creating Borkena and Kichuu: when were these news sites created? who runs them? what are their editorial policies and sociopolitical biases?
