  • Reviewed: Sudanese literature
  • Comment: just to say he was versatile would be too little, and we haven't even touched singer (in duo with his wife), dancer, writer, university teacher ... - there's a "nicer" image in the infobox, but this seems more characteristic to me.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: An excellent candidate, indeed a "universal artist" / Renaissance type, whose hook should pull in good numbers. Nice referencing, huge work done since late January (DYKCheck did not detect 5x, but it has a known issue with lists, and my manual check suggests all is OK on that point. Earwig raised a couple of points I needed to check; these seem OK. I believe this is good to go. There is one thing - according to DYKCheck, it "appeared on" In the News before (must have been when it was a Stub), and there is a condition related to being "featured on" In the News, but not merely appearing as a link, etc. It is my first day reviewing, so perhaps an experienced DYK colleague could clarify if this is an issue...

Thank you for the review, - it appeared recently under Recent deaths, only link, which is fine and no conflict. - It would be nice if the DYK check could tell the difference. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
You're welcome. And great to have that clear, and yes, a future development point, maybe. Onward so... SeoR (talk) 12:21, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
