Talk:Herzberger Quader

Notability
After two declines, I would like to provide the next reviewer with some background information. Perhaps this will help, as I have not received an answer to my questions from either of the previous two. I understand that it is difficult when all the sources are in German, as it is hard to find a native English speaker who knows German. I would therefore like to give you some further explanations.

Schulze collected a lot of (and invented some) mathematical games in 1982-1984. He created an exhibition that moved from place to place in 10 years (1984-1994). In this time almost all publications that one can find where about the exhibition and some notes about the content including the Herzberger Quader. I have found a note that there was a complete book about the whole exhibition in preparation. After Schulze's death, the book was abandoned, but finally an article exclusively about the Herzberger Quader (33 pages in total) was published. I found it a few weeks ago, and now this is source 2.

And this is my problem: I have no doubt that the Herzberger Quader is notable. In Germany today, almost all publications on recreational mathematics that mention the Soma Cube also mention the Herzberger Quader. But that is the situation in Germany. It's very hard to find anything about the Herzberger Quader in English, and even the best site about it (fam-bundgaard.dk) is a private site and therefore not a reliable source for my article.

I hope that these explanations will help you. --Rainer Gutsche (talk) 09:16, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
