Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- ALT1 fails as the article doesn't seem to mention Uganda. An issue with the primary hook is the reference to the "Bura". This isn't linked in the hook or article. Possible links include Bura people (which redirects to Kilba people) or Bura language (aka Bura/Pabir). I reckon we need to clarify this and the exact source which is supporting it.
- This is my fault, I meant Nigeria not Uganda! Whoops. Linking to Bura people should work. Gardneca (talk) 17:29, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Interesting:
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
It's not clear to me whether the word Agadzagadza is the Bura/Pabir name for a lizard or whether it's the proper name of this particular trickster. I suppose it's a bit of both like Coyote.
- Pinging Gardneca and Andrew Davidson since this has stalled for a while. Not sure if you both want to continue on with this or close it out since it's been so long. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:50, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Shalor (Wiki Ed) Andrew Davidson I'd like to continue with this but since I'm new to the process I'm not sure what the next step should be. I responded to the issues and made changes, so please advise as to how to proceed. Thanks! Gardneca (talk) 07:49, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

- Gonna assume this has been put on hold, so I hope you don't mind me taking over. QPQ not required, no copyvio issues, nominated in time. Strike ALT1, as it's not Ugandan, and suggest a link to Bura people. Much prefer ALT2. Not sure "Cause of death" is quite right.

Pulled from prep per discussion at WT:DYK#Prep 5: Trickster; article has four "citation needed" tags and these need to be supplied before the article can proceed. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
- Note: I pinged nominator Gardneca on their talk page on 15 August, giving them seven days to take action. If we haven't heard back by tomorrow, I plan to put the "no" icon on this page then, though we can certainly wait until 28 August, as SL93 suggests, before actually closing the nomination as "rejected".

Reviewer needed to proceed with review now that citations have been added. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:38, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- I have added urls to more of the references, and added more inline citations to those references. I have also added a link to Bura language, as several of the sources do refer to "Bura-Pabir". I could not see in any of the online sources that the lizard in the tale was identified as a male agama lizard, and the one source that does identify Agadzagadza as a male agama lizard is a draft dictionary which makes no mention of the story about the lizard. So that could be an issue of WP:SYNTH, unless any of the offline sources make the connection explicit. I guess we WP:AGF on that, and anyway, it's not part of any of the hooks, and not essential to the article.
- I don't know if I should do a closing review, as I have added more inline citations, but it does seem to me that the remaining outstanding issue has been addressed. I also prefer ALT2. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:42, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
I don't see a rule saying editors shouldn't approve DYK noms when they have added citations to the article, so I am going to be bold and approve this. I am striking all but ALT2. The first source contains all the points in that hook. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:40, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
