Article created on 27 April and DYK nominated on 4 May. So falls within 7 day range. QPQ is done. Hook length is within 200 characters. Hook reference mentioned here and in the article is a dead link. That needs to be replaced before it can be verified. Rest 3 sources support their claim. Also, 1880 B (309 words) "readable prose size" with German text of 312 characters, which, in my opinion, is not required as its an English Wikipedia. Without that as well, article length would be more than 1500 characters. - Vivvt (Talk) 03:31, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
- I am shocked to see that the link to five detailed pages of choir history are gone, and asked the publisher for help. For now, it's like an offline source, sorry. I am not sure what you mean about the German text. A translation never covers the original, so people reading German are better served by the original quote (unfortunately from the same history). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:49, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
- I found several new sources for support. The sound engineer remembers that Franz's recording was taken for the film, but as it is published in a "Forum" I used it as external link. Interesting reading! Lux aeterna seems to have been written for the SWR Vokalensemble. I couldn't find exactly that the NDR sang the premiere, so dropped that claim. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
