I'll take this to try to assist it being shown for Good Friday. SusunW (talk) 18:38, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Created 4 April, nom 5 April (new enough); 2998 char (long enough); no apparent copyvios; neutral, QPQ done, photo says "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported". There are 2 uncited paragraphs in the article. 1 starts "As the organ expert of the diocese from 1969..." and the other "Wolfram Menschick and his wife Roswitha"... This article confirms he was the expert from 1969, but says nothing about him preferring Baroque organs nor does it mention Orgelbau Sandtner. The same link confirms he had 6 daughters and that his wife was Roswitha, but does not mention either of the daughter's names. The hook is 170 chars (under maximum), interesting and cited in the article, however, I see nothing in the article or the source that says that it is "for three soloists and choir". If you can fix the citations and the hook, it should be GTG. Please ping me when that is done. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 19:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Susun, I forgot about him, imagine. - I tried to find refs, tricky because there are so many mirrors. - No ref (besides mirrors) says exactly that he preferred mechanical tracts, but I found one about his cathedral organ by Sandtner being one like that. I found no ref (besides mirrors) saying exactly he had this daughter Julia, but her name is the same, and the age matches, and it says she came from a musical family. If that's not enough we can drop the two facts that the German Wikipedia has. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added a ref for the scoring. - Too bad that the links of his publisher don't work for me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:40, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda Arendt I'm fine with the sourcing now, as the citation on the organ ties Standort, Menschick, and 1975 together. I'd probably take Julia out, but at least the fact that she is a luthier is cited. SusunW (talk) 20:50, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. There are probably printed sources for the luthier ... - Can you please move this to the special occasions once the bot transferred it to the approved noms? Let's also ping Claudia, very active in prep-building. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:00, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have no clue how to do that Gerda Arendt. Perhaps Leeky can help as I am inept with wp technology and only do the things I know how to do. SusunW (talk) 21:16, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
happy to help out! since it's so close, it's easier to bypass the SOHA and just put this in prep :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 21:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
