• Article is new enough and long enough. It is supported by inline citations. Author has done QPQ. No pictures in article to check. I think the article would survive an AfD. I think it is neutral enough. I like the proposed hook. I believe the text and the source support that when it says his formal education was limited.
• Offline sources support text and were not plagiarised when writing the article.
• I'm commenting to mostly say this because I worry people will comment: I'm assuming good faith on things like collecting palm trees. The source is offline and I cannot verify it. A search here seems to verify this fact. --LauraHale (talk) 06:06, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

If people are convinced on the neutrality, it should be good to go. :) --LauraHale (talk) 06:06, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
