@Yerevantsi: The lead of the article currently states "Iranian-born Armenian-American". As far as I can see, Abrahamian's entire career is permeated with the understanding that he's solely connected to Iranian politics, society and history. Same goes for the events in his own personal life. Other than being of Armenian descent, I wasn't really able to find much about his connections to Armenia/being Armenian. Please let me know if I missed something. Per the sources; perhaps Iranian-American of Armenian descent/ethnicity would be more appropriate? - LouisAragon (talk) 19:16, 25 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
This is how he introduces himself: "I originate from Iran, from an Armenian family. I grew up partly in Iran, partly in England, and mostly in New York". Per MOS:CONTEXTBIO, "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability." This article previously did not mention any nationality, and I think that was OK too. Pahlevun (talk) 13:38, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
