- Article is new enough, long enough and within policy. I'm not too happy about the hook: I see no evidence that he was involved in the management of the (re?)unification of the Frankfurt and Leipzig libraries. The Börsenverein and he may have been strongly supportive, but they did not do any of the unification work (and the obituary may be exaggerating his personal involvement, as obituaries tend to do). Also, best to say that the West and East German book trade associations were merged ("..., who managed the unification of the West and East German book trade associations", ran ...). To me, "book seller unions" means "Gewerkschaften der Buchhandelsangestellten" so better use different words in English. QPQ is still missing.

- Thank you for looking. I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Martine Bedin. I'm not happy with the hook myself, thanks for patience. Work over 35 years for the Börsenverein would be attractive enough but the title of that organisation is hopelessly long and German. - I just used "managed" to be short, and understand that he wrote contracts, and his qualities including social skills helped to make it happen. I don't think we can say "re-unification" if there had been one, and after the War a separate one had been started, not as a split.
