- ... that William Forsythe's ballet The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude is so difficult to dance that a ballerina said she would rather give birth again? Source: [1], p. 298

Interesting ballet, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is fine as a bit sensation-grabbing. There really should be an article on the historic Frankfurt Ballet, because not every reader will position Forsythe in time and region. The article Oper Frankfurt is almost more the company than the building. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- I agreed that Frankfurt Ballet should have an article. However, writing an article about a dance company takes a lot of time, and I'm too busy, and somehow, I never worked on an article about a dance company. I know that the Oper Frankfurt article is about the opera company, but there isn't an article about the building, so it's the best I can do, or I can just put Frankfurt as the location. I'm trying to see whether I can get an image for the ballet so would you mind putting this nom on hold for now. Sorry, forgot about that when I nominated this.

- No problem, prep builder, please wait! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Nom on hold per above. @Corachow: any progress on this? Z1720 (talk) 23:27, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Z1720: GRuban is helping me with that. See User talk:GRuban#A favour. The TLDR is a Barcelona opera house uploaded a few pictures as public domain on Flickr, but they were deleted from Commons a few years ago. A Commons admin pointed out that it seems like the opera house did not intend put them in PD. GRuban had asked them to clarify via email. I feel like it will take a while so maybe wait for one more day? If not, let's just promote the hook without the image. Corachow (talk) 23:58, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'm OK with keeping it on hold for a while, other prep builders might feel differently. I'm glad there's progress on this. Z1720 (talk) 00:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

- @Z1720: I haven’t heard anything. Feel free to promote this to prep without the image. Corachow (talk) 22:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
