Interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious, and I can read the German. I wonder if the line that even made is to a headline should be quoted and explained, because "anti-police" is one thing, speaking of a burning policeman as a paraphrase of an Advent song is stronger. I don't know how far to go in the hook. I hope the unsightly red link to her job will turn blue (and can be used in the hook) before this appears. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: I've filled the red link with a stub and expanded slightly the mention of the lyrics in the article. So we could use the slightly differently linked
I don't want to use the cop-burning lyrics explicitly in the DYK hook, as that is a bit too tabloidy for a BLP in my view. I'd like to focus the hook on her being condemned for something she did when she was a teenager, not on what exactly the company she kept was doing back then. I think the juxtaposition justice minister/punk band against the police is enough to make it hooky. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 22:21, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
I suggest also the following - just positioned differently, because I am not sure about capitals if we use it like her title:
ALT0b ... that Katja Meier, Saxon state minister of justice, was criticised for the anti-police lyrics of the punk band she played in as a teenager? was criticised for the anti-police lyrics of the punk band she played in as a teenager?
Thank you, all fine! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
