His name in Armenian is Abraham, but since he lived in Russia and was known as a Soviet ("Russian") physicist, his name is commonly spelled as "Abram". examples: NYT obituary, scholarly papers on him [1], [2], etc.

  • Support Nomination seems reasonable, consistent with WP:COMMONNAME, and well cited. Moreover, the redirect can be kept for searchability and access as it is a common variant spelling. I would suggest adding an applicable Rcat for the alternative spelling to the redirect post-close. --Doug Mehus T·C 17:50, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
