Source-derived summary

Mel Daluzyan (Armenian: Մել Դալուզյան, born 20 April 1988 in Leninakan, Armenian SSR) is an Armenian weightlifter. He received the Honoured Master of Sports of Armenia title in 2006 and was twice European Women's Weightlifting Champion in the 63kg class, in 2007 and 2008.

Biography

He was born as Meline Daluzyan and states that already as a young child he never felt as a girl. He started weight training in 2002 under the leadership of Artashes Nersisyan. His parents opposed his passion at first but later became proud of his achievements. He is a seven-time Armenian Champion and won the Junior European Championship in both 2005 and 2006.

Daluzyan won a bronze medal at the 2006 World Weightlifting Championships. Daluzyan was the first weightlifter from Armenia to win a World medal in the female category. The next year, Daluzyan won a gold medal at the 2007 European Weightlifting Championships and was the first Armenian to become a European Champion in weightlifting. Daluzyan repeated this success at the 2008 European Weightlifting Championships.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1988, 2006, 2007, 2008—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1988-04-20. The account is most persuasive where Daluzyan, Armenian and weightlifter can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as armenian weightlifter. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q44627. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1988, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
