Article is long enough and nominated within timeframe. QPQ has been completed. Hook is short enough; assuming good faith on German source in article. No pings on Earwigs. I personally think the fact that he's nicknamed "Mister DAX" is interesting enough for a hook and that the information about the books he wrote is extraneous, but I leave it to whoever promotes the nomination.

Thank you for the review. I like the English (!) word-play of Crash and Cash in German book titles, but see your point, also admit that the German double meaning of "Kurs" (course, direction, share price) is not quite as good in English. Once this is transcluded to accepted nomination, can you please move to Special occasions there. They will also want approval of the image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything about being called Mister DAX and Dirk of the DAX in the source given. Yoninah (talk) 21:15, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the cites. Restoring tick per Morgan695's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
