Fails WP:BIO. There is no inherent notability in being an ambassador, even to/from a "major" country. The references cited are either mentions in a list, a flickr photo, and an article written by him - no reliable independent sources establishing notability.

 * Challenge: There is no inherent notability in being an ambassador, even to/from a "major" country:
 * Ambassadors still must meet WP:BIO. There have been numerous ambassadors from "major" countries deleted. The existence of a category does not establish inherent notability. LibStar (talk) 15:28, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
