AFreshStart: 4th DYK, no QPQ needed. Article is long enough and the sourcing is a bit bare, but just about passes
WP:NBIO - could definitely go with 1-2 other sources if you can find them though. Hook fact is cited, and interesting, but I have serious concerns about plagiarism. The hook (and several other sentences in the article) seems copy-pasted from the Dictionary of African Biography source. I cannot accept the hook until the entire article has been fixed to not violate copyright.

@
Juxlos: I believe the copyright issue in the article has been resolved. I have tried to have
my temporary rewrite looked over for possible copyvios, but no luck. Hopefully I haven't undone any work here, but I have edited and re-added the information with some other sources too, and changed the hook. Any feedback is much appreciated. —🎄☃️❄️ Season's greetings from
