Overall: The article was started on 9 February, one day before the nomination. It has 2,800 characters and has appeared on "In the News" but only under recent deaths. It's written in a neutral fashion, densely referenced from reliable sources and shows not traces of plagiarism. The hook is short enough, interesting enough and has two references associated with it in the text. The "in Senegal" bit is perhaps too much detail, but I'll leave this to the promoter. QPQ confirmed. I'd say this is good to go. Modussiccandi (talk) 11:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for looking. The "in Senegal" is very short for that she moved there because she was fascinated by his work. Otherwise, she could have just translated from some desk in Europe, as her name suggests that she comes from. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:38, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation. I think it could well stay in the hook since it's not over length anyway. Modussiccandi (talk) 15:17, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
