Lead

1. Is it reasonably well written?
   1. Lead is simple and concise, introduces Afrofuturism and explains the inclusion of varia short stories .

Background

1. Is it reasonably well written?
   1. The background to the creation of the short stories is well scribed.
   2. The comment on self-reassuring "comfort fiction" is a telling point of reference for understanding the departure point for the short stories. A good inclusion.

Style and Themes

1. Is it reasonably well written?
   1. Although the opportunity is present to lump everything into Science Fiction and Fantasy as a default category for the short stories, it is good to see references to alternate history steampunk, climate fiction, sword and sorcery, post-apocalyptic fiction and cyberpunk, illustrating the range of Jemisin's writing prowess.

Synopsis and format

1. Is it reasonably well written?
   1. The table is well laid out and illustrated with synopsis for each short story.

Publication and reception

1. Is it reasonably well written?
   1. There is a varied account of the reception of this collection, again showing the strengths of this author.

End Matter

1. It is Broad in its coverage?
   1. Strong references, strong reviews, in fact, terrific reviews!
2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
   1. As a preview or inview into a collection of short stories, it accomplishes the task.
   2. References are succinct and appropriate.
   3. Categories: I wonder if the Science Fiction Anthologies category is relevant?
   4. Works Cited: all examined.
3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
   1. A neutral point of view is given in this article.
4. Is it stable?
   1. Page is created on 22 February 2019 and has had 1,178 page views in the past 30 days. A total of 13,732 pages views for the life of this article. It has received a total of 17 edits from 5 human authors, and there are 40 links to this page. There is no evidence of edit warring, so considered a stable page.
5. It is illustrated by images : The book cover looks good. You can't get a free book cover within the WP:NFCC ?
6. Overall: Pass Y

• Thanks. I have added the cover photo. You're right that it looks good (fantastic, in fact) and in looking it up I found 2 more references to use. The anthologies category is for collections with stories from multiple authors. maclean (talk) 19:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
  • It is a fantastic cover. Thanks for the extra references. Sorted the GA, Pass.
