 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. German language sources accepted in good faith, and no plagiarism has been found. QPQ has been provided. I like the hook but perhaps it could be reworded to make it flow better (i.e. it has too many commas; some clauses could be combined). As for the article itself, some statements lack footnotes, such as "The other buildings were used for... " and its succeeding sentences. Finally, I don't think the quotation marks in "Maria Himmelfahrt Hachenburg" are necessary since it's a proper noun for a parish. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:48, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for looking! You could reword, if you don't change the meaning, no? My try:
 * ALT1:... that the 1227 Gothic church of the Cistercian Marienstatt Abbey (pictured) escaped demolition because it became a parish church in 1831?
 * I dropped the passage mentione as unsourced because I can't find the source - not having the books that the German writer had. I improved sourcing for the organs. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:40, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. This is almost ready to be approved; all that's needed is to add the footnote in the sentence mentioning the hook fact. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:08, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Done, I hope, and year corrected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:04, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Not yet done: "In 1831, the abbey church became the church of a new parish, Marienstatt, saving it from demolition." still lacks the footnote. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:36, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I looked at the first sentence, and you at the second, and I now made it one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:56, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:25, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention this doing the approval, but I suggest that this be promoted without the image, as right now the image is hard to see at such a small detail. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:39, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I wonder if David could help by cropping. I think it might add to imagining the size of the complex. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
