  • Article was moved to mainspace on 5 October, but is at 1382 characters at the time of the review. The hook is interesting and I'm AGFing on the German-language reference [1]. The article has a few inline citations to YouTube which probably need to be removed or replaced with reliable sources. Also the image is not used in the article and irrelevant.

  • Comment: If this article makes it, I think the present German flag is not appropriate, - Westerwald being a small region in one state of Germany (perhaps that should show in a hook), and originally nothing of national importance in the song. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Mandarax, I forgot what else needs to be done after an article move. Help? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
  • Nominator was pinged on their talk page, archived the ping after seven minutes, and over fifty edits later, has not responded here or edited the article, which has been waiting for over three weeks since its initial review. Marking for closure since their last two "too short" nominations were not expanded, and they have not addressed their own "citation needed" template. If they post here before this closes, the nomination can continue. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:16, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
