@Soman: Article is long enough and created same day as DYK submission. Article was well-sourced and neutral. QPQ done. The hook is pretty humorous. However, the source to the hook is unopenable, and according to the limited searching I can do here, the name "Adama" does not appear, so I do not think that source is adequate for this hook. Additionally, in the article, the section "Influence on Sankara" is almost entirely quotations; I feel this information is able to be, and should be, paraphrased to help presentability and avoid unnecessary block quotes.

- Regarding the reference Afrique nouvelle p. 9, this is the quote "BURKINA VERS LE CONSENSUS NATIONAL ? Adama Touré , ancien minis- tre de l'Information du pre- mier gouvernement du Conseil national de la Révo- lution ( CNR , au pouvoir ) , a été libéré , le 3 février , en même temps que son homo- nyme , un dirigeant syndical , a - t - on appris de bonne source à Ouagadougou . Les deux personnes avaient été arrêtées en octobre 1984 . L'ancien ministre avait été accusé d'avoir mené une << campagne de dénigrement contre la suppression de l'impôt forfaitaire » , décidée par le CNR en faveur de la population , et [...] Adama Touré : liberté retrouvée . Le second , syndicaliste , est par ailleurs le frère cadet de l'ancien secrétaire général de la Confédération syndi- cale voltaïque". The ref is important as it is clear that there were 2 different Adama Toures released on same day. I don't know why the snippet search isn't working well, I'm also having problems searching inside the text. Search passages from this quote in google books directly. --Soman (talk) 18:33, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approving on good faith due to French-language source. Thank you for your nomination Soman - Kimikel (talk) 01:34, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
