I don't believe we presume ambassadors to be notable, but this fellow is neither an ambassador nor even a consul&mdash;he's a consul-designate. The fact that he's spoken to the press on a number of occasions and been an employee at Fiji's High Commission in Canada also does not imply notability. Per WP:GNG, we need "significant coverage in reliable sources" for that. - Biruitorul Talk 23:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment. I didn't create this article, but after I saw the AfD notice I formatted the extensive collection of references in the article. He may well be notable for his role in promoting exports from Fiji to Canada and for fighting fish imports to Canada which were falsely labelled as coming from Fiji (including a dispute over a trademark that falsely implied the fish were from Fiji). He is no longer a consular official for Fiji; he is running a company in Vancouver, British Columbia. A "consul-designate" is simply someone who was been appointed as a consul but who has not yet taken up the position. – Eastmain (talk) 04:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
