For New Articles Only[edit]

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

  • Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject? Not yet, so I would be sure to add more sources.
  • How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject? Again, I would seek more literature on Cleage's novel.
  • Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles? Yes
  • Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable? No; I would add add a link to Pearl Cleage's Wikipedia page.

  • What are the strengths of the content added? I appreciate the clear way the character list is structured, and I think a plot summary is an important element that you have included.
  • How can the content added be improved? The content can be improved by completing more of the article. I am excited to see how the page develops!
