Overall: Article was new enough when nominated, is long enough (>1900 chars), maintains an appropriately neutral point of view, and is mostly well supported by sources. It doesn't have any plagiarism problems that I can see; being based on sources in another language makes close paraphrasing difficult. I've edited the hook to clarify that it's the RKD that was organised fifty years earlier, not the Diocese; I'm not sure how best to translate referat into English, but I'm trying "directorate." There are some unsupported claims, however, that need attention. The article's claims that the subject was born in Wiesbaden and that he was in college from 1956 to 1959 don't seem to appear anywhere in the included sources. If sources can be added to support those facts, or if they are removed, then the article will be ready for DYK. With the unsupported claims removed, this article now appears to meet the DYK standard, and should be good to go. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:42, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Thak you for the review. Sorry about the facts that probably came from an article I used as a model. - I am not happy with directorate. departement perhaps? Why translate at all if a term looses precision in translation? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
"Department" is fine with me; as I said, I just don't know what the German term means.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:42, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
