Ntshingwayo kaMahole page now finalised[edit]

I've added all the relevant material I've been able to find so far as well as references and a photograph. Please check the page over and let me know if anything is not up to standard. Also I believe the page may now meet the Wikipedia general notability guideline. Thanks.

Removal of general notability guideline tag[edit]

According to the Military History/Military personnel notability guide at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Notability_guide, Ntshingwayo is historically notable as being the commanding general of the entire Zulu army in the field during the first Anglo-Zulu War. He qualifies on the following four counts as listed on the page mentioned:

He held a rank considered to be a general or historical equivalent
He held the top-level military command position of his nation's armed forces
He played an important role in a significant military event
He commanded a substantial body of troops in combat.

Therefore I've removed the notability guideline tag from the top of the page.

Updates to biographical summary[edit]

I've added a couple of extra details on the biographical summary, but they show as red links. What's the guideline for this, should I leave them as is, or roll them back? Thanks!
