→8. After establishing my AAP, I see that the LC/NAF file contains an authority record for this person with a multitude of access point variants, some of which are in non-Latin script. Is it good practice to copy and paste all the non-Latin variants into my record?

These variants can be copied as long as they are justified in a 670 field. It is up to the cataloguer to determine which variants are most useful in the context of the PFAN and should be added. It should be borne in mind that any non-Latin variant should normally also be included in a 400 field in romanized form according to the tables approved by the PFAN. If the LC/NAF record includes a 400 field with an equivalent romanized form according to the ALA-LC tables, be sure to also include a 400 field with a romanized form according to the PFAN-approved tables where this form differs.
