Article is long enough, new, within policy and meets criteria. Hook is mentioned and sourced. QPQ looks good. This is good to go!

@Gerda Arendt: does everyone know what the WDR is? (I don't.) Isn't it enough to just say when they were founded and that they performed in Israel and with Ian Anderson? Yoninah (talk) 22:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- The choir is known for decades of doing historically informed music before the term even existed, and it was quite unusual that a "church choir" collaborated with a broadcaster. (There's a link for those who don't know WDR.) I think it's a good contrast to Israel and Anderson, but if you don't agree, I can spare the "old" part for their conductor. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:37, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Could you provide an ALT? Yoninah (talk) 23:56, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see what's so difficult about dropping that part and leaving it for the conductor. It's the most important thing we can say about them, that's why I would still prefer the approved original.

Thank you for accommodating me, but we do always try to accommodate the nominator's wishes if it doesn't conflict with policy. I'm restoring the tick for your original hook. Yoninah (talk) 11:43, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
