Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Albert Luthuli; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - other problem
QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Iamawesomeautomatic: Good article. However, the hook should mention that he was the first black african to win the nobel prize since Max Theiler seems to have won before luthuli (though is a white african). Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Onegreatjoke: Thank you for the feedback. However, this nomination focused on the Nobel Peace Prize in particular. Just in case, I looked at the list of Nobel Peace Prize laureates to see if anyone before Luthuli was African, but he was the first. Iamawesomeautomatic (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
