New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook facts sourced in article (AGF on the German). @Gerda Arendt: The paragraph ending in "He received the Hannelore Kohl medal in 2011" needs an inline citation, and I'd also like to see some for a few of the specific claims, particularly the 800,000 people attending concerts, him as a "pioneer", and translation into "many languages". Once those items are addressed this will be ready. Raymie (t • c) 02:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Raymie, thank you for looking! In the last paragraph, I found a news ref for the first two claims, but not the last, so dropped that one. I'm sure it's true, but I only saw it in repetitions of Wikipedia and in a news I can't fully access. I dropped the translations and concertgoers for the same reason, - sold albums are a more solid fact ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
