Overall: 
The article was created on 04:23, 10 October 2022, shy of seven days for newness, which would have been on 11 October when nominated on 18 October. Though, I do think the article is excellent. It has a proper length of 3520 characters, adequate sourcing, is neutral in tone, and is free from plagiarism and copyright as Earwig detected, at most, 4.8%. Although Earwig did pick up from two sources a match for the phrase who made an international career based in Germany, I would reword this in the future. The hook is interesting and cited within the article through various lines. It is interesting to see such a vast career jump, no less between international communities and different work mediums. I am unfamiliar with the art of opera, which led me to listen and watch some performances by Sung Min Song, which were delightfully calming for this Sunday night.
As for additional comments: I do question if he was a informatics engineer or a computer engineer as per its source. I cannot read German, so Google Translate is my buddy here, roughly translating "engineer for computer technology" (Saarbrücker Zeitung). I am unsure if DYK skirts the newness rule for articles that just miss this time frame by a day, so let me know if this was an error, and I'd be happy to change it (or if my UTC-math is wrong). If not, I do think this article has a deserving chance with improvement in five-fold expansion or Good Article status. Adog (Talk・Cont) 03:37, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- I am sorry that I failed to see my math error in the days. I did see it for two other nominations, where it was pardoned. English is not my native language, - he is not a scientist, and computer engineer would tell me he engineered computers, which he didn't. But I see that the informatics rngineering article is so poor that we better don't link to it. - I fixed the "made a career" sentence. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
No fault on you, and understood for the engineer's comment. I will request a new reviewer, as I would like to see this passed. I am unsure if I can personally make the call to skirt around the newness timeframe (the DYK criteria does not have a rule about nominations that are barely over the timeframe, relatively speaking). I would be happy if a more experienced DYK reviewer would endorse it to confirm if we can subside the rule. I do hope for the best! Adog (Talk・Cont) 11:14, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt and Theleekycauldron: Will pass this accordingly! Apologies for the delay, and I will note this practice moving forward for my reviews. To the front page! Adog (Talk・Cont) 01:09, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
