... that Herbert Brandl once painted a 9 metres × 4 metres (30 ft × 13 ft) painting in about 15 minutes? Source: [1] "Der größte Berg, den er je malte, war neun Meter hoch und vier Meter breit. Wie lange er dafür brauchte? 15 Minuten. Man kann auch das kaum fassen."
- ALT1: ... that Herbert Brandl once created a large mountain painting in about 15 minutes? Source: Same as ALT0
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Hatsune Miku
- Comment: (Technically) my first ever nomination that is not anime-related. The article is just outside the seven day limit, so requesting an extension per WP:DYKNEW. ~~The hook fact is currently not in the article, but Viriditas has stated he will add it to the article once a few things are sorted out.~~ Bringing this to DYK on behalf of the main article writer, who made a call for hook suggestions over at WT:DYK.

Created by Thief-River-Faller (talk) and Gerda Arendt (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 114 past nominations.

Overall: All good with the hooks and articles; ALT1 slightly preferred as it is punchier without the dimensions. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:39, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Viriditas: I just noticed that the reference about the 15 minutes claim is located in a different part of the article from the sentence about the fact: could you please duplicate the reference? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:51, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
