• Keep: Kantakouzenos is covered at least twice by an ostensibly notable Byzantinist (I checked the first D. Nicol source, and while it's not the subject of the article, it's more than a passing mention). Moreover, the subject apparently has an entire article dedicated to them in Revue des études byzantines. And that's just what I've gleaned from three of the four sources on the article.

• Comment: The article is now sourced even more strongly than when I originally voted Keep due to excellent work by the article's creator, Alivardi. At this point, there are several reliable authors each discussing this subject in a good amount of detail in reputable published sources. I'm usually somewhat conservative when it comes to notability guidelines, and I would call it absurd to remove this article on grounds of the subject's notability at this point. I encourage the nominator, Slatersteven, to consider reexamining the article's sources and withdrawing their nomination. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 00:58, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Anyone who was still getting coverage in reliable sources over half a millennium after he lived is obviously notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:22, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep enough content and sources to support notability even at creation. I fail to see what the nominator considered lacking in this article. Constantine ✍ 12:10, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep -- Ambassadors are commonly notable. In this case, his embassy resulted in 600 troops being sent to reinforce Byzantium. The article has what appear to a series of academic sources. I see nothing wrong with it. If it was just the family bits, my vote would have gone the other way. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:58, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
