Ambassadors are not inherently notable. No significant coverage to meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 01:56, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and Canada. Shellwood (talk) 02:15, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment As the page has no references, there is no sign of notability, and yet in my experience most Canadian ambassadors do prove to be notable, when someone takes the time to dig out the sources. On 's user page we can see a strange obsession with getting biographies of ambassadors deleted, but I am not seeing any involvement with this page, such as a challenge to add citations, or any sign of efforts to improve the page, or any of the others. They are all just drive-by Afds and are not the best way to deal with under-referenced articles. Moonraker (talk) 03:36, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
