 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Gerda Arendt, review follows; article created in period 19-26 September; article exceeds minimum length; the article is adequately written; the article is cited throughout to what appear to be reliable sources (will AGF as they are all German); hook is interesting, but I will propose a shorter alt at the end as I think discussion of the play distracts from the main fact; hook fact is mentioned in the article and I will AGF that the sources back it up; Presuming no close paraphrasing as all sources would have had to have been translated, the copyvio detector comes up clear; image is free and reasonably useful at small scale. Just awaiting a QPQ on this one - Dumelow (talk) 23:04, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Proposed ALT: ... that the Bockenheimer Tram Depot in Frankfurt has been converted into a theatre?
 * Thank you, and I reviewed now. I wrote the hook because I can't expand composer and/or opera 5*, DYK? Also, it's not just "a theatre", but one with performances of international interest, which I think shows best if one them is mentioned. A Wikipedia colleague and I happened to have been in the same performance ;) - Also: we shouldn't invent names, it never was named "Tram Depot" nor "Straßenbahndepot", simply "Depot". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg QPQ now done. I don't think the mention of the opera adds anything to the hook but I will leave it up to the promoter.  To avoid introducin tram into the name the following might work - Dumelow (talk) 17:22, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Proposed ALT: ... that the Bockenheimer Depot in Frankfurt was built to house trams but is now used as a theatre?

Returned from prep for promotion of approved hook and image on a different day. Yoninah (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Fine with me. We don't have so many operas by female composers to showcase. In the article, we'd have no link to (any) composer when the piece has an article, but DYK is perhaps different. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:00, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The powers that be want to make sure she's notable enough for the main page, so she needs a link ;) Yoninah (talk) 17:40, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Sea of blue, then, as if an opera by an not notable person would get an article ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
