@drpink The article looked like it would be likely to be deleted before the AFD. It’s pretty substantial now, although the first two sections of biography are mostly redundant. The deletion discussion mentions which projects were alerted—none that I saw were LGBTQ. A #Wikipedian in such a project may want to add such a notice. There may also be an Armenian-American or related project to notify. Good luck.

@skip_lacaze Yes, maybe thanks to the stimulus of the deletion request, it's now a snowball keep.

It's got so many reasonable sources, it makes the deletion discussion look a bit daft.

@drpink @skip_lacaze #Deletionists don’t go looking for evidence to improve and keep an article, unless it’s in their fanzone—sports, video games, porn actresses, whatever. OTOH, I would have been tempted to tag the original article as needing various improvements if it wasn’t expanded promptly.
