Palais des Fêtes

 * ... that some of the 20th-century greatest conductors and many anime fans were guests at the Palais des Fêtes in Strasbourg (though not at the same time)?
 * (alternative hook) ...that the Palais des Fêtes in Strasbourg has hosted famous conductors and anonymous anime fans (though not at the same time)?

 * Symbol question.svg Created yesterday, generally well-written and well sourced. The hook is long enough and interesting. QPQ not done! --  Frankie talk 20:18, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I have less than five DYK credits to my name as of now: check. Best, Edelseider (talk) 20:53, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Whoops, my bad! --  Frankie talk 21:38, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg New and long enough, all paragraphs have inline citations, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. ), nominator is exempt from the QPQ requirement (per QPQ check), image is properly licensed.


 * Content of the hook about the anime fans is backed with a source in the article, but I'm a bit unsure about the reliability of the source in terms of Wikipedia's guideline. I'm not seeing a source in the article to verify the part about some of the 20th-century's greatest conductors being guests there. North America1000 05:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The fact that Bruno Walter, Wilhelm Furtwängler and Herbert von Karajan are considered among the 20th-century greatest conductors is indisputable (indeed, even the articles say so). Each and everyone of them has given concerts in the PdF, which is sourced for each of them. To say nothing of Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss, who are considered giants of 20th-century music as composers and have had illustrious careers as conductors. This is neither original research, nor weasel wording. Best, Edelseider (talk) 09:07, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand that it's implied, but the content needs to be stated in the article, and backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article. I'm just following the rules, specifically WP:WIADYK point #3, "The fact(s) mentioned in the hook must be cited in the article", "Facts should have an inline citation", "Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact". These are the rules. North America1000 11:08, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Very good, and I have nothing against rules. I've proposed a new hook above, I hope you are okay with it. Best, Edelseider (talk) 11:17, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Struck the original hook. The alt hook is acceptable. Upon consideration, the source from Francetvinfo.fr verifying the anime convention appears to meet WP:RS to a decent enough degree. I tried some searches to find further sources for verification regarding this, but not finding much. Several sources are used in the article to verify several conductors. One minor matter is that I have added the word "has" to the alt hook, (to read "has hosted") for grammar purposes. North America1000 12:33, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * There are four different articles on Rue89, a reliable media: http://www.rue89strasbourg.com/index.php/tag/japan-addict/. Best, Edelseider (talk) 12:39, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Please consider adding some of those sources to the article. North America1000 12:40, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅. Isn't this a nice picture? Best, Edelseider (talk) 12:42, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
