Long enough 4106 char; new enough created 24 April/nom 27 April; neutral; no apparent copyvios; QPQ done; image is used in the article and appears to be freely distributable; last paragraph contains three final uncited sentences. Love the hook! At 186 char is under maximum; AGF that Kuhn and Hollaender sources confirm she immigrated with Hollander and Kuhn and Brüning confirm she danced in cabaret. I note that Donald-Brian Johnson's piece confirms the emigration from Germany with Hollander, as well as that she was a ceramicist/designer. If you can fix the final paragraph cites, should be GTG.

Thank you for reviewing! I silently hoped it would be you, DYK? - I added a cite for the book and the day of death. The place of death, unfortunately, is not in the same bio, which just says Hollywood, of which Van Nuys seems to be part. That also goes for the place where they lived. - What can we do? I so far only translated (leaving many details untranslated, including that Hollaender barely mentioned her in his memoirs). I'd prefer not to have a different POD than the German Wikipedia. - Could you cast a view at another nom, for Jennifer Holloway? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:34, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Tricky problem, but I'd go for accuracy rather than whether or not two WP versions match. The online version of Kühn does show 14 April 1995 in Hollywood. The Social Security Master Death File confirms she lived/died in Van Nuys (zip code 91401), but no specific date.[1] But, according to her death record in Los Angeles County, California, she died on the 15th.[2] I tried numerous places for an obit and find nada under Schoop or Verebes. I made a minor edit and list both dates, but I think you are fine on Van Nuys given the SS database info. In any case, everything is now cited. So you should be GTG.

Thank you so much for checking all these sources! Find a grave when ashes were scattered ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
