Interesting life and work, on fine sources, and I can read the German. No copyvio obvious. I like the ALT - about his merits - much more than the quirky death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:50, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
What's wrong with the original hook? The second hook seems a bit bland whereas the first hook seems more eye-catching and surprising. It's not a BLP thing either as the subject has been deceased for decades. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:29, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- On the other hand, if there is a desire not to use the death hook, we could probably go with a different angle. ALT1 is rather pedestrian in my opinion especially compared to other material in the article. Here are some alternate suggestions:
- ALT2 ... that Hermann Gutzmann is considered the founder of phoniatrics as a medical discipline?
- ALT3 ... that Hermann Gutzmann outlined the close relationship of speech therapy to other areas of medical practice?

- Thank you for the offers, but I like the precision of ALT1. I'd have to look up what phoniatrics are (always a bad sign if the only thing mentioned is not familiar, - I'd accept such a thing as something additional), and would like to run a competition of ALT1 and ALT3, finding ALT1 more attractive. But you may find someone else to have them approved. I don't like that your icon overwrites a valid approval, but what can we do? (You could add extra noms without an icon, for example.) We have so many unreviewed noms, - why spend any time on a little bit more attractive? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough. We can have another editor review ALT2/3 and let the promoter choose between either of the two hooks or ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:37, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
- You didn't hear me. Why ask the promoter but not the nominator? If all this is needed at all? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I'm ambivalent on ALTs 2 and 3, so I'll let someone else get the final call. As for ALT0, it is within policy, cited (AGF on an RS), and interesting – without a given policy or even subjective reason to strike the hook (liking another hook better doesn't count), I've unstruck it. I do like ALT1, so I'll just refrain from promoting entirely and let someone else pick. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:46, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
this is also still good to go for promotion at any time – newly proposed hooks shouldn't hold up the process entirely. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:48, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
