Zwerg Nase: Nominator here. Great! Looking forward to the review. I think I've gathered every notable publication that I could find on the internet for the film's production, box office, and critical response. If you find issues in your review let me know and I'll do my best to fix them.

Comment I'd suggest this nomination be withdrawn as a lot of work is needed before the article covers
main aspects (#3a). The Release section contains no release dates and next to no information. There's no
Themes section, though sources exist analyzing the film
[1][2][3][4][5] Although a secondary item of importance, there's no
WP:FILMHIST section either, although sources exist on that too
[6][7] For such a popular, well-known and recent film, I'd have expected more than 61 sources and more book sources; I would think a Casting section would be fairly easy to research and put together.

The release date was actually misplaced; I put it in the box office section instead. Other than that, I agree with you Ribbet32. I can see that I failed to add what you've mentioned before when I was looking for information, and it really would have helped the article to add a themes and historical accuracies section. I will withdraw my nomination and try to work on the issues, hopefully I can submit it again sometime in the future. -

While the meme can be included in the lead, considering that it takes up quite a part of the article, the last half sentence about the copyright issues I think are too trivial here. Adressing them in the article proper is enough, I think.
Done
Plot
You use surnames for all people but Traudl Junge. Use the last name instead of first name here as well.
Done
Production
First sentence: The word "perplexed" might not be the best here. Maybe "discouraged"?
Done
The years given for the books do not seem to be the release years. Also, not all of them give year numbers, just some. There should be consistency here.
Done
Second paragraph mentions Hirschbiegel, without having mentioned him in the article yet. So, wikilink and give full name and who he is. Maybe you can even find a source about his hiring?
Done
Release
The Bild headline seems out of place here, this should go into the reception section.
Done
Overall, I am not sure if this section is necessary at all. You could move "home media" down below Reception and cut the entire release part since it does not give significant information. It would be different if you could give more info on the release, like were the premiere was and when. When was it released in Germany and by whom? When and by whom was it released in the UK and the US?
Done Added information about the premiere in Toronto, and its first release in manhattan. I couldn't find anything about the UK though, but there's the part about its strapline for channel 4, not sure if that counts in this situation.
Reception
Generally, I feel like the controversy surrounding the movie should be given more space, probably in its own section. There are plenty more sources who discuss the issue, like
here or
here.
Done
Note 1 about Mohnke and Schenck gives context, but no source for the statement. You need to add one here!
Done
At the end of the paragraph, you mention that Mohnke denied the accusations, but since the accusations are given in a footnote, this leaves a reader who has not read the footnote wondering what exactly he denies doing. I would recommend moving the footnote into the prose.
Done
Parodies
You might think about maybe shortening this section. While the movie is significant for its meme, it seems undue weight in the article right now. A section about the Hitler controversy should, in my view, be longer than the one about the meme.
As by the suggestion of the nominator, I am closing the nomination for now. I hope that the article will find swift work on the issues raised above. @
NowIsntItTime: Feel free to ping me if you re-nominate this, I would not mind looking at this again in the future.
