(Provide a link to the article here.) Zeba Blay

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen this article because it is about a recently relevant female African writer and critic. It matters because I think Zeba Blay is the kind of person who would be mentioned in our class, an intellectual and pioneering Black feminist. My preliminary impression of it is that it is rather short.

The lead section is just two sentences but pretty well describes what follows. It describes who Zeba Blay is and the hashtag she created, which is probably what she's best known for. There is no information present that does not reappear in the article. The lead is very concise maybe too much so. The content is relevant, all about Blay. The most recent year mentioned is 2022 so I don't think the content is fully up-to-date, unless Blay hasn't done anything notable this year. A bit more about her early life, education, and personal life would be helpful. It does not mention equity gaps, but there are many mentions of the underrepresented population of Black women. The article is neutral and unbiased. There are no opinions mentioned. For such a short article, there are a good amount of links with different authors for all of them. 2022 is the most recent year again. the links work. the article is very concise and clear with no notable errors. it is well organized. there are no images. the talk page is empty. this is not a wiki project. overall, this article is not bad, its interesting. it could be improved by more information, it is underdeveloped.
