  • Lead

The lead could summarize more about him and what he did during his career in writing. For example, give a brief overall view of what he is known for and or his best work.

  • Sourcing

I see you do not have a lot of sources which isn't your fault because these African writers are overlooked but the ones you have are reliable.

  • Structure

Your structure is very good and in the order, it should be.

  • Language

The language is very well written and I like how you get straight to the point with every topic you discuss. Thee.outkast (talk) 05:12, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Lead

The lead is fairly short. I recommend adding a few details to create a concise summary of the rest of the article.

  • Sourcing

I think for this size article, you could use a few more articles. Take a closer look around AUM articles and Jstor. The sources you do have are reliable.

  • Structure

The structure is pretty good, however, I suggest taking out the death and listing that under biography because it does need a new section.

  • Language

The language is clear and understandable. I like that you were not repetitive in your writing.--Nickywithdablicky (talk) 05:57, 17 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
