Article created 2 days before nom. Sufficient length. Solid secondary sources. No significant neutrality issues.

Unfortunately, I cannot complete verifiability/copyvio spot-checks because the citations include no page numbers. For example, citation 4 is a 120-page book cited multiple times, but no page numbers are displayed.

Same applies to the hook: no page number = no way for me to verify.

Article citations require page numbers before I can review this nomination any further. 296cherry (talk) 18:27, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

@Scarp-bolt: Please address the above.--Laun chba ller 16:31, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

@Scarp-bolt: I will close this in 24 hours if I don't see some action on this.--Laun chba ller 18:46, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: @296cherry: I had done as Cherry 296 suggested for the references. I have tried to communicate with both of you to say this and emailed you both. As I said in the emails, I am at a loss to know how to respond ie where and how, and cannot seem to access this specific piece of information on help. I am new to writing a page on Wiki, apologies Scarp-bolt (talk) 10:53, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: @296cherry:But maybe I have figured this out (by copying the double curly bracket yo format that I see you have used) now? Scarp-bolt (talk) 10:52, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@Scarp-bolt: Completely forgot that you'd emailed, my apologies. I simplified things by removing some content from the article; the details of the Harzburg Model would belong in its own article. The page numbering seems to be rectified. Much of the hook wasn't in the article even before I started editing it; I recommend simplifying it as follows: ALT0a: ... that the Nazi officer Reinhard Höhn founded a business school after the Second World War?.--Laun chba ller 11:59, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Thank you, simpler seems good...do I now need to change this somewhere? Scarp-bolt (talk) 08:16, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

I can't approve my hook myself as I introduced 'business school', so I need another reviewer.--Laun chba ller 11:13, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
