Oscar Schlitter

[edit]
  • ... that Oscar Schlitter was involved in several major commercial and industrial mergers?

Created by Charles01 (talk). Nominated by SSTflyer (talk) at 12:05, 22 September 2015 (UTC).

  • Easily long enough; new enough; neutral (though a slight bias toward English Monopoly players); QPQ done; assuming copyviocloseparaphrasingplagiarismleß as most of the sources are in the mystery German. It would be good to go, except that the hook is yawn-inducing; come on, he sold his house to Goebbels for a snip; that might not be the crux of his character but it is certainly more hooky than "banker involved in finance".

  • Would you mind helping to suggest a new hook? Thanks. sstflyer 09:10, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
ALT1 ... that Oscar Schlitter sold his house in Berlin's "Mayfair" to Joseph Goebbels for "a very modest sum"?
You can lose 'in Berlin's "Mayfair"' if you don't like it. I can't approve the nom now I've suggested a hook, so we'll have to summon an approval genie; rub your lamp, Belle (talk) 12:20, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
GTG (though admittedly I did have to look up that "Mayfair" is the most expensive street in the British version of Monopoly). Long enough, new enough, no apparent copy violations, though am relying on translator program for Duetsch as can only count, neutral, and hook is interesting and under char limit. No image, QPQ done.
