I figured this one was coming.

I will officially say "no," but admit that there are definitions of one or more of the above that, if broad enough, could lead to a yes. I think answering yes would be misleading, though, as it would probably lead people down the wrong path (particularly a yes without a disclaimer).

[yavuzovic]

I will add the same caveat as above here that you could possibly broaden one or more of these enough to get to a yes, but there is something else that will probably get you to the answer quicker and more directly, and be a more precise definition of primary source of fame.

I misread this as "primarily known" instead of "known."

This should be yes. Consider the rest of my answer some free information about the degree of fame from these sources.

3, 4, 9. Born February 27, 1902 - Jan 1, 1936
7, 10. Not a native speaker of English or French
13, 14. Known for politics/statesmanship/being in the military/philosophy, but QM would not say "primarily known" for the above. QM would also say not primarily associated "with religion, theology or activism of any kind."
8. Not known for a field that one can win a Nobel Prize in.
