Article is new enough, long enough, sourced properly, and a quite good article on an interesting subject. The hook is sourced inline (I am not super familiar with German sources and which are reliable, but the one used for the info in the hook is good). The hook is interesting, though might I suggest you or the editor moving this to a prep change the wording to "... that contract killer Werner Pinzner"; I think that'll turn a few more heads. In any case: excellent work, FuzzyMagma! ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
