- ... that Leonhard Kaiser, a student of Martin Luther, was burned at the stake on this day in 1527 after being declared guilty of heresy?
- Source: "...Kaiser... was arrested in March 1527, imprisoned, and finally interrogated. Charges against him included teaching justification through faith alone, contempt for good works, and heresy on several other issues, such as the Mass and its canon, confession and satisfaction, the other sacraments, freedom of the will, purgatory, invocation of the saints, and the power of the papacy. He was burned for his Lutheran beliefs on 16 August 1527. Entreaties on his behalf from Elector John of Saxony (r. 1525–1532) and Margrave Casimir of Brandenburg availed not at all. Luther wrote him a letter of consolation during his imprisonment. His death occasioned a propaganda exchange. Nine editions of an anonymous description of his execution elicited defenses of their respective positions from his instructor, Martin Luther" The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Reformation

Article new enough (moved to mainspace July 10), long enough (3300 B). Hook is interesting if run on August 16. However, I'm seeing the article has a statement with a citation needed tag, which you'll need to address before I approve.— Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 01:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thriley I should have tagged you for this. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 02:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: I could not find a source for the 1977 memorial service. I think I am going to remove mention of it so the nomination can proceed. Thriley (talk) 14:50, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
Removed the unsourced statement. Approving this hook to run on August 16. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧 (talk | contribs) 16:03, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
