This is a well-written encyclopaedic article and the authors have done well to extend the representation of African-American culture on Wikipedia. The nominator expanded it from 169 words readable prose to 977 words, qualifying it for DYK. The article is written neutrally and based on suitable scholarly sources with inline citations. I've fixed a couple of typos (deify/defy) and expanded the key citation. The hooks are short enough, sourced inline in the article, and properly formatted. I greatly prefer the first hook, connecting the poem to other events, over the statement of the content of the poem. QPQ is not done? Earwig gives a high score, unsurprisingly because the article quotes the poem and other sources discussing the poem also quote it in full. However, Earwig also shows that the opening two sentences of the article match the opening two sentences of [2]. Could these two sentences be rewritten, maybe giving a bit more introduction to who Claude McKay was? Looking again, that source is from 2020, after those sentences appeared in the article, so there is no copyright problem. This and the QPQ are all that needs to be fixed before it qualifies for DYK. Just awaiting the QPQ. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:12, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
