Well written

(a) the prose is clear and the spelling and grammar are correct
Well written
(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, jargon, words to avoid, fiction, and list incorporation
no WP:MOS concerns

Factually written and verifiable

(a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout
Well referenced
(b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines
Inline citations are appropriate, however certain sections contain paragraphs cited entirely by one source. While this is OK, you might consider duplicating the reference instead of just leaving it at the end if that paragraph cites specific details, such as birth dates and monitary figures as occurs in the "early life" section. Still, this is just advice for improvement, not a GA concern.
(c) it contains no original research
No indication of original research

Broad in its coverage

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic
A well-covered subject, to the point of being a potential FA candidate. Well done.
(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
The article goes into detail, but not inappropriately. The article can easily be followed by the reader.

Neutral

it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
Article is very neutral and unbiased

Stable

it does not change significantly from day-to-day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Article is stable

Illustrated, if possible

(a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content
All images tagged as PD
(b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions
Images are relevant and useful, with captions

General comments

This is a well-written article, and a clear featured article contender. The article is in-depth and well referenced and the prose is very clear. Very well done.
