- The hook is actually interesting, but it lacks focus due to being too long and trying to fit in too many facts into one hook. Suggesting a split into two separate hooks, with the decision on what hook to use to be left to the reviewer:
- ALT1 ... that Hans Dieter Beck (pictured) usually used a bicycle to work as a leader of C. H. Beck legal publishing?
- ALT2 ... that Hans Dieter Beck (pictured) ran his family business, the C. H. Beck legal publishing house, until the age of 92?

- Thank you for the offers, but how about leaving the fact in that I found most stunning: that the used the bicycle until age 92, a few weeks before he died while in office? + I find the office more interesting when knowing what kind of long-run family tradition there is behind it, and he one of two leaders, from 1973. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:49, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- ALT3 ... that Hans Dieter Beck (pictured) rode a bicycle to work until shortly before his death at the age of 92?
- ALT3a ... that Hans Dieter Beck (pictured), one of the two leaders of C. H. Beck, rode a bicycle to work until shortly before his death at the age of 92?
- Maybe that? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:22, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for trying, but I'm not happy with wasting characters on mentioning his death, - work at age 92 seems impressive enough, and then in a company-leading function. ALT3a is closer to what I'd like. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:25, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I too prefer the original, but it is rather long. How about the following rearrangement:
- ALT4 ... that as co-head of the publisher C. H. Beck, Hans Dieter Beck (pictured) rode a bicycle to work until he was 92?

- ALT4 sounds good and should resolve any concerns with the original hook while still taking into account the nom's wishes. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:50, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
