• The article is new and long enough; for the article, I recommend improving the lede to better summarize the article, and removing at least some of the many red links, except to refer to articles which exist on another language wiki (in which case use the 'ill' format). ALT0 could be punchier if rephrased as "... that the Kingdom of Kulembebe may have existed in Angola since the 13th century?". — Preceding unsigned comment added by RabidTuberculosis (talk • contribs)

Thanks RabidTuberculosis. I'll remove the links to the two books, but the other ones are all articles I intend to create at some point, and satisfy GNG (WP:REDLINK). Tbh I'm not sure what more I can add to the lead that won't render the body as dull duplication for the reader rather than summary. That hook's good, I'm happy to defer to you or the promoter on that Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 11:33, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
