  • This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts have an inline citation and I see "Was ist Sacropop?, which even I can understand. The article is neutral and I did not check for copyright issues because of lack of access to the sources. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:56, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came to promote this, but found the hook hard to follow. What do you think about shortening it this way:
  • ALT1: ... that composer Peter Janssens introduced the term Sacropop to Germany?
  • Since there's no English Wikipedia article about the genre, though, I wonder if you could add a line to this article about what Sacropop is? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Well, it's no genre, the genre is Neues Geistliches Lied, which proved untranslatable. I thought sacro (from sacred) and pop would be easily accessible in English. With Christmas being long ago, we could also think of a completely different hook. Or how is this?
ALT2: ... that the composer Peter Janssens subtitled his Menschensohn (Son of man) "A Sacro-Pop Musical"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:31, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
  • OK. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
