 * kindly submit a QPQ to go with this nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Did the rules change? I remember no QPQ for not a self nom? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:47, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the rules changed on November 21. Since you have 117 nomination credits to your name on the DYKSTATS, I figure you are well past your first 5 non-self-nominations ;). Yoninah (talk) 00:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

 * It would be "men's" voices, not "mens"; but I would recommend changing "men's voices" to "male choir"/"male voices", as otherwise it sounds a bit accidental—i.e. like there just happened to be some men at the scene making noise.  It Is Me Here  t /  c  13:03, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I try to avoid male/female as I understood that those are good for animals, - did you hear about gender gap? ;) - I agree that it should be men's, not mens. A choir can't have a gender, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerda Arendt (talk • contribs) 13:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Calling a group a "male choir" is quite common: see e.g. Pontarddulais Male Choir, The Male Choir of St. Petersburg, Royal Dunedin Male Choir, Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir.  It Is Me Here  t /  c  17:42, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, in English speaking areas. This is Austria, and it would have been a Männerchor, Liedertafel, or even solo voices on the parts. A voice also has no gender ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:11, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are accepted in good faith. The article is neutral but I was unable to assess whether there is any close paraphrasing because the sources were not available to me. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
