Air France Flight 343
- ... that French West African poet David Diop was among 63 people killed when Air France Flight 343 crashed in 1960? "in the last week of August 1960 he died in an airplane crash off the coast of Dakar, Senegal" from:Akyeampong, Emmanuel Kwaku; Gates, Professor Henry Louis Jr (2012). Dictionary of African Biography. OUP USA. p. 219. ISBN 978-0-19-538207-5. The court papers cited in the article refer explicitly to this flight, that crashed on 29 August

- Hi Dumelow. The article is new enough (created on June 4), long enough (2993 characters) and cites sources. It is free from copyright violations (Copyvio Detector detects 0%! and Violation Unlikely). Hook is under 200 characters (104 characters), meets the formatting guidelines, and is interesting to a broad audience. A book is cited with hook, which I couldn't access, but the hook is confirmed by another source (Source - 1). A QPQ is done. Just note that the article David Diop says that he was a French West African, which I guess is worth adding in the hook and article (in place of West African). Also, create a talk page for the article. Otherwise, the article is Good to go. Ping me whenever you reply. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 12:26, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Kavyansh.Singh, thanks for the review. I've no objection to adding "French" and have put it into the proposed hook. I've added a talk page and tagged it for the aviation wikiproject - Dumelow (talk) 12:45, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
