  • New enough, long enough, hook is good, no copyvio obvious. Some small problems need to be fixed before I approve this, however. Ref 3: Discogs is not a reliable source; paragraph 4 needs citations, please. (I tried checking the other sources to see if the information in that paragraph was there - I can barely read German but didn't see anything. Correct me if I'm wrong ) Also: is it possible to rephrase "he is known internationally as a Mozart singer, and as a concert singer"? My suggestion: something along the lines as "Also known internationally as a lieder and concert singer, Laubenthal is particularly known for his roles in Mozart operas..."

Thank you, and please have a bit of patience. I noticed yesterday - on vacation, now in the desert with a shaky connection - that this was due for nomination, had barely time to improve, and will, but possibly only after returning next week.
Sounds good! Take your time - Have a great and relaxing vacation! Warmest, Zingarese talk · contribs 19:31, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Zingarese, back home after a great time, I think I sourced the prose part now, please check. I will take a bit more time to also reference the recordings, but that should be easy, later today. The lead should be expanded, also, but he is internationally known for Mozart also, not only for lied and concert, so your proposal doesn't quite work. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Done now, I think, - while there would be much more material about 60 or so recordings ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Dear Gerda, happy to hear you had a great vacation. Thank you for the improvements - fantastic work (as always), and I love the lede now. Zingarese talk · contribs 14:43, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
