 * Symbol question.svg The article was created seven days before the nomination, and it is long enough. There do not seem to be any copyright violations. The article is neutral and uses inline citations. I assume good faith for the sources in Italian and the offline sources. The hook is cited and neutral. The QPQ is done. I have one question. The second paragraph of the Life and career section says that he moved to Vienna between 1748 and 1752, but the source cited at the end of the paragraph does not seem to verify that. A Google translation of reference number 2 seems to verify the fact. I do not know Italian, so can you check if the original Italian verifies that he moved to Vienna between 1748 and 1752? If it does, please add an inline citation to the paragraph. Gulumeemee (talk) 06:50, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything about elephants and camels in the Italian source. Yoninah (talk) 21:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I hope the author will know, - it's in the opera's article also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I doubled a source that I found, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:19, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you. As I am unable to access it online, giving it an AGF tick. Rest of review per Gulumeemee. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yoninah, the quote from page 95 of the source Gerda added is "There were eight hundred performers in the Dresden Solimano of 1753 and a menagerie that included camels and elephants." The fact is also in citation [8] (Yorke-Long, Alan (1954). Music at Court: Four Eighteenth Century Studies, p. 84), which is freely available online. I hadn't written this article for purposes of DYK, hence several references are at paragraph end rather than immediately after each sentence. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 06:27, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
