Hi, I'm Jammy, and I am reviewing this article, Stephan Ludwig Roth. I must first applaud you on the quality of this article and the amount of effort that clearly went into this article, and your very impressive amount of skill and experience showcased here. I can in full confidence say that it easily passes the GA criteria. I also understand that it has been quite a while since you made this nomination, but I would still like to congratulate you on the effort. Below is the review, piece by piece.

While this easily passes the GA criteria, there are still levels above this. I believe that this article could become a featured article with a small amount of work, and I would greatly enjoy seeing you, or fellow editors, tackle that. Only 1 in 163 articles are GA, so it is a great achievement in any case.

New enough (nominated on 7th day of eligibility), certainly long enough. No issues with article presentability and article sources look all good. QPQ is all good. I can't access the source used for the hook. While I trust that it does say martyr, the phrases used in the title/abstract ("Greatest Man of the Saxon People" or "the greatest man that our 700-year [Saxon] history has to offer.") strike me as a little more DYKINT. That same source is used for ALT1, so can't approve that without access (it's also could use some cleanup). I was able to find this source in Romanian that seems bona fide and uses the word "martyr" if you prefer that for ALT0. Let me know what you think about a different version of ALT0 or if you can access the source for ALT1. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 05:03, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi Dizzycheekchewer, your proposed alternative is good with me. Unfortunately, I’m on holiday without my laptop so can’t make any major adjustments. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:37, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29 ALT0 is approved as is (given additional source), if that's your preference, but did you have any interest in one ("Greatest Man of the Saxon People") or the other ("the greatest man that our 700-year [Saxon] history has to offer.") alternatives as an ALT0a? Let me know and I'll tick it off. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 18:47, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

- @Dizzycheekchewer: This is already past DYKTIMEOUT so this needs to have a resolution as soon as possible. If ALT0 is approved as is and other options cannot be done in time, maybe ALT0 can just be ticked. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:23, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
- Eh that's fine.
