Created by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 10:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC).

Created exactly 7 days before nomination, long enough. My concern about the content is that the notability of the subject isn't established. According to WP:LEAD, the lead should "explain why the topic is notable", but the lead right now is just one sentence describing the subject's occupation. The article body reads like a dry resume as well: this isn't a DYK criteria, but please consider improving it. As for the hook, I doubt that it would be interesting to a broad audience. I don't think general international readers can easily relate to E. T. A. Hoffmann or Ludwigsburg Festival. Can you find a more suitable fact? QPQ is in order. HaEr48 (talk) 18:20, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Then patience, please. So far, I just translated. The typical German lead is one sentence ;) - Returning from a day out, I have many other things that need to be done. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

HaEr48, I expanded the lead. If reader know the writer ETA Hoffman only as the hero of Les contes d'Hoffmann, this would be a good opportunity to learn that he also composed opera ;) - They also should rather look at Schloss Ludwigsburg for a change than the Gärtnerplatztheater again. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:26, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. The lead is now sufficiently expanded. About the hook, it looks like ETA Hoffman is quite popular (it's just I haven't heard of him), the hook appears in the article and is cited, so good to go. I took the liberty of using the English name for Ludwigsburg Festival, I believe this is appropriate because the audience of the hook is international, and the majority of them wouldn't understand German.

Thank you. Next time when changing a hook, please make an ALT, or the discussion becomes meaningless :) - The English name lacks schloss (palace) which I think is an interesting aspect, but I may be the only one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
