Created by Bogger (talk). Self-nominated at 17:54, 17 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Max Glatt; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• @Bogger: Review follows:

• Long enough 443 words "readable prose size"
• New enough - nominated 3 days after creation on 17th Jan 2024
• Hook fact is well covered by the source - which is WP:RS
• QPQ done
• hook is very interesting - I expect it's not often that inmates would do this, Glatt must have been a remarkable character.
• copyvio is clear @ 3.8%
• no images
• article is presentable - however it could benefit from inline citations for two sentences: Only he and his sister, who managed to escape to Holland, survived the Nazi era; and The therapeutic community he founded is now known as the "Max Glatt Unit".
• Overall - very interesting thank you Bogger - nearly there if two citations could be added? ResonantDis_tortion 23:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: I think the hook should just link to Wormwood with the text "a prison" (or something). I'd never heard of this prison, and nor have most people, and it confused me. Zanahary (talk) 02:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
• Fair point Zanahary - I propose simple addition per ALT1. Also I am finding the hook grammar a little tortuous, so I propose ALT2 as an alternative for the promoter. Ping to @Bogger:. ResonantDis_tortion 14:45, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that psychotherapist Max Meier Glatt, a former Nazi concentration camp inmate, treated addicts in Wormwood Scrubs prison, who named their football team after him?

ALT2: ... that addicts imprisoned in Wormwood Scrubs named the prison football team after their psychotherapist Max Meier Glatt, a former Nazi concentration camp inmate?

• Citations added - DYK nomination approved for either ALT1 or ALT2. ResonantDis_tortion 16:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
