Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Good to go. Thank you for this excellent and worthy article. (I wish we had a bit more about the two academics spitting feathers, but that's just me). A few points:

  • QPQ pending. I understand from the creator's user page that they have two DYKs, so there is no need for a QPQ this time.
  • Article was promoted to GA 26 September 2023.
  • All paragraphs have a citation at the end, except one introductory line, which does not need a citation.
  • Although Earwig finds some similarities, they are only common phrases and one quotation, so no problem there.
  • Hook citations are offline. I take those in good faith.
  • I find it exciting that since oral Igbo language has become also a written Igbo language, Igbo speakers have been writing novels. If you would like to create a ALT1, that aspect would perhaps be better than the idea of a "first". There is nothing wrong with ALT0 (it's just a bit samey), and there is no obligation to write a ALT1 - it's just my opinion. Storye book (talk) 10:31, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
