This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the article is neutral and free from copyright problems as far as I can see. The proposed hook is rather uninspiring, I doubt whether many people have heard of the company he founded. What about something about him being a pioneer in the artificial silk industry?

How about,
ALT1 ... that Johann Urban (pictured) and Max Fremery patented "Silkimit", an artificial fiber, and founded Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken, one of the leading European producers of rayon?"
- That would combine this with two other recent submissions, and avoid overloading the front page with articles on German rayon manufacture. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:16, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- I scratched ALT1 because the Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken nomination got approved and promoted. Maybe the simpler ALT2 below? Aymatth2 (talk) 14:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Johann Urban (pictured) and Max Fremery patented "Silkimit", an artificial fiber, in 1897?"
