Nice, new article that meets all the criteria for DYK, but I don't see a QPQ. You listed it as "pending", has it been done yet?

QPQ done. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:47, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Full review by non-anonymous reviewer needed as QPQ was supplied over a week ago. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:41, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Article is new enough and long enough, QPQ is done and the hook is well sourced. Ready to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

The hook is a little misleading, because the New York University School of the Arts and the Tisch School of the Arts are actually the same thing.--Carabinieri (talk) 14:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that David Oppenheim was the principal architect of the Tisch School of the Arts? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:55, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I was intrigued by how a musician and television producer became an architect, so I tried to find more sources. In this obituary in The New York Sun, it says that the building was renovated, not new. Therefore these hooks are a bit misleading. How about something completely different:
ALT2: ... that by the age of 20, future Tisch School of the Arts dean David Oppenheim was an accomplished clarinetist? Yoninah (talk) 21:48, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Original hooks struck as three people (myself included) have problems with them being misleading—I too thought the guy was both an architect and a clarinetist, but it turns out he didn't design buildings but helped make an arts school. ALT2 needs reviewing, assuming it's acceptable to the nominator, or a variant of ALT1 that uses other words in place of "principal architect" (perhaps in contrast to his clarinet) could be interesting.

ALT2 is interesting and well referenced.Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:54, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
