Ambassadors are not inherently notable. I don't see anything about this diplomat that qualifies her as notable under any other rationale Flaming Ferrari (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some references. Notable for media coverage and awards. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:12, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Hay meets WP:ANYBIO through her achievements in the British diplomatic corps. She single-handedly opened a new British Consulate General in St. Petersburg after the 1991 coup. She was also the first female Consul General in Istanbul and the first female ambassador in Tashkent. She also meets WP:BASIC as the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources (e.g. BBC America). gobonobo  + c 16:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
