  • ALT1b: ... that a scholar argued that the 2021 German novel About People, which is about the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, encourages "sympathy with rightwing extremists"? Source: "Also in the context of the pandemic, Zeh has authored two novels that encourage sympathy with rightwing extremists, Über Menschen (2021) and Zwischen Welten (2023, with Simon Urban)." https://doi.org/10.1111%2Fgequ.12404
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Sourcing looks good to me, but marking as AGF just because Google Translate is never perfect. Proposing ALT1b above, which has the linked "COVID-19 pandemic in Germany" instead of just "COVID-19 pandemic". Approving ALT0 and ALT1b—I prefer ALT1b. Good work!

Title meaning

[edit]

The title is a play on words and this should be reflected in the article. Übermenschen are the members of the Nazi "Master Race", which is also a core theme in the book. 2001:A61:CA3:B701:1893:476:2C6:A150 (talk) 19:17, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, but do you have a source saying that the word-play was intended by Zeh? BorgQueen (talk) 19:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
