 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Hooks are cited inline and are interesting; I think ALT1 is the better of the two hooks and appeals to the broadest audience. QPQ has been provided. I am assuming good faith for the sources in German. Although optional and not a point against against the nomination, I'd suggest you try also adding some Japanese sources, though it's fine if you don't if the language barrier makes it difficult; as I said, this is only a suggestion. The problem here is that the "Compositions" section is mostly unreferenced. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. Published works can be found in authority control. I didn't write the list of works, but now added what IRCAM has, and the German National Library, + his publisher Schott, ref #1, has a detailed list, go to the biography and click on "Works". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:19, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks, I suppose this is good to go then. Striking ALT0 as being the inferior hook. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:04, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, misspelled the name of the opera. Why you'd think Hiroshima is inferior, I don't know. I think more readers would associate something with that than with Lear, perhaps even Shakespeare. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It's honestly not very appealing to a broad audience, especially compared to the second one which shows a fairly unusual relationship (opera and Noh). The first hook is not really hooky; it would be like a hook saying '... that Michael Jackson produced an anti-famine song, "We Are The World"?'.Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:32, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * "Hiroshima" seems to carry much more emotional connotations than "We are the world", or "opera and Noh". - I don't want you to change your mind, just understand better. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:23, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
