This article is about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian writer, novelist, poet, essayist and statesman. She mostly dominates the use of Igbo in some of her works, like Purple Hibiscus, Americanah, and so many. Relatively, the author has aired so many talks on education, fashion, and feminism.
I started working on this article till it became a GA. It's quite non figurative to say, "African articles are rarely FA". It's best I nominate this for FA, haven met FA criteria. All the Best! Otuọcha ( talk) 10:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Putting a placemarker here. I am a bit hip deep in real world stuff (101F/38.3C temps and no water. Plumber has the house in disarray searching for the problem, etc. etc. etc.) but will try to get to this, this week. Thank you for your work on Adichie. SusunW ( talk) 19:54, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Early life and background
My overall impression from beginning this review is that the article is not yet ready for FA. I would strongly suggest that you withdraw it and submit it for [ [6]]. If you choose not to do that and prefer to continue here, I am willing to continue reviewing the rest of the article here, but the coordinators may not prefer that method. She is a significant Nigerian author and I think that it is important that we get the article to the highest possible standard. Please ping me when you have decided which approach you prefer.

Thanks for taking the time to write and polish the article of this prolific Nigerian writer. I unfortunately have two major issues with the article, which I think would take some time to correct.
Firstly, the biography-section is mostly a list of releases and their aftermath. I would like to know more about the writing process leading up to each book. Does she chip away at her drafts slowly or finish them obsessively? Did she conduct interviews or dig into archives for research? Did she go back across the Atlantic to reminisce and set the mood before getting to work? Also, I think the section should be padded with more sentences concerning her life that are not directly tied to her books.
Secondly, I'm missing a section discussing her body of work in its entirety. In an FA-level article on a writer there would usually be a section on overarching themes and writing style based on academic sources. You have started such a section under "Influences and legacy", but it needs to be more comprehensive.
Finally, a few minor suggestions:

For the record, my thinking is along the lines of SusunW. You're improving the article at a remarkable pace! Still, I think it would make a lot of sense to temporarily withdraw, work on the article for as long as you need to address our concerns, and return for another nomination. If you agree, feel free to contact me when you re-nominate. I'd be happy to pick up where we left of. Draken Bowser ( talk) 00:21, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
