  • Reviewing. -Nizil (talk) 06:26, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
    • New, long enough, neutral, cited (German references but considering them in good faith), hook is bit simple, qpq done. -Nizil (talk) 06:30, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
      • Sorry @Gerda Arendt: , the article has already appeared on main page under WP:ITN on 11 December 2021. According to WP:DYKRULES Eligibility criteria 1d, an article is ineligible for DYK if it has previously appeared on the main page as bold link in "In the news". :( -Nizil (talk) 06:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
        Nizil. please read the guideline closer. Unless it changed, "bolded link" leaves it eligible, only with blurb that is not true. (At least that was the latest I know.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:38, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
        • Ahh, my bad. I thought RD are bold linked. -Nizil (talk) 06:48, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
        • Everything else is OK. The current hook is not that hooky. Can you propose another one?-Nizil (talk) 06:52, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
        • I don't want to say that the third volume will appear after his death, nor mention the one theatre scandal, when we have here something that he and only he could do, because he knew all these events and these people, from writing about theatre over 30 years for the leading German paper. Better wording welcome. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:09, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
          • Well, I agree with your rationale. Approving. -Nizil (talk) 11:48, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
