Biographies
When an article is created translating from German, a few steps should be kept in mind.
 * Lead: The German WP links the dates and uses symbols for birth and death, - here delink and replace the birth symbol by "born" for living people, the death symbol by "–". German has the places of birth and death where the dates are, English has them in the body. Consider an infobox to have them together.
 * Add template "Authority control", - worst thing happening is nothing happens. Normally you get the library details from Wikidata. If you have received a number (GND) for the German National Library (DNB), you can call the entries for the person by, placed under "External links".
 * Remember that German has External links before references; it's the other way round here.
 * Place projects, especially BIO, on the talk.
 * Enter the new article in a disambiguation page of the surname.

All articles

 * Be aware that many German articles come with books as references, not inline citations. If you can read a book, consider changing to inline, providing page numbers.
 * Mark German phrases which are not names by phrase, and other language phrases similarly.
 * Right after creating, go to the German article and establish the In anderen Sprachen link, to make the connection. For extra service, make an English short description on Wikidata.
 * Make a note of the translation on the talk, minimum.
 * Find links to the new article, - look for alternate names, make redirects for them.
