 * Symbol question.svg Date and length OK. Hook citation checks out. A notable subject showing careful research. Image problem: Halfway down the article is a fair-use image whose image-file says that its purpose-of-use is "to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question" but that is not the case, and the image would not be appropriate for the biography infobox. I cannot see how to deal with this without abandoning the image. To speed up the DYK process it would be easiest to remove the image until after DYK is done, then sort out the image afterwards - however if you do that, the image would get a speedy-deletion tag due to being unused on an article page. One alternative would be to abandon the image to its fate, and replace it with a link in a citation. (I have corrected the source link on the filepage as it didn't work). Since this is a biographical article, it would be valid to replace the image with others showing places where he grew up, people he was associated with, and buildings or places where he studied or worked, for example. Links: The link to "essayist" goes to a list of essayists. If you could kindly sort out these matters, then I'll strike through the above negative comments and the nom should be good to go. --Storye book (talk) 10:47, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
