Diether Dehm

  • ... that German politician Diether Dehm employed former terrorist Christian Klar to work on his website? Source: Deutsche Welle [1]
    • ALT1:... that while West German singer-songwriter Diether Dehm was managing East German singer Wolf Biermann, Dehm worked as informer for the East German Stasi secret service? [2]

  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough (moved to mainspace within past 7 days), long enough, neutral in tone, supported with inline citations throughout, and (according to Earwig) copyvio-free. Lone image is licensed CC BY 3.0 and hosted on Commons. Both suggested hooks are cited in text. I do not see the term "terrorist" in ALT0's cited source, but since almost every other DW article on RAF uses the term, and even the cited article mentions "terror", I understand this characterization to reflect Western media consensus about the group, needing no additional sourcing or qualification. Prefer ALT0 as being more interesting to a worldwide audience that is probably much more familiar with RAF than with Biermann, and because it is not actually negative, even though it is controversial. If ALT1 is considered, then as a stylistic matter either "secret service" could be removed or piped to Stasi. QPQ has been completed. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
