Talk:Alan Merten

he "deaned"
To dean, a verb? Really? I see it not in https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dean But then, I believe in verbing nouns that ought to be verbed, so I'm not editing to "served as dean of". Particularly since the next sentence has that. His GMU obituary https://www2.gmu.edu/news/2020-05/university-mourns-loss-alan-merten is better phrased. 2603:6010:4E42:500:D8A2:2925:629C:C58B (talk) 21:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
