[edit] Yemen at the 2006 Commonwealth Games

Yemen does not compete at the Commonwealth Games. Mohammed Nasir represented Wales, as he is Welsh (well, from Newport, so he's Monmouthshirese). The reason, I suspect, that the article asserts that Nasir represented Yemen is that he is of Yemeni ancestry. Of course, he was part of the Welsh team, won a bronze medal for Wales, and doesn’t represent Yemen any more than Sol Campbell represents Jamaica at football. Bastin8 01:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - but make the above point within the text of the article. - Richardcavell 01:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Yemen doesn't compete at the Commonwealth Games; such articles are organised by the countries that compete, not the ancestries of the competitors. Because of that, there is categorically no possibility for expansion of this page beyond the sentence "Mohammed Nasir, who competed for Wales in the 48kg event, is of Yemeni ancestry".
