Irving G. Cheslaw

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Cheslaw was an army officer, university lecturer, and State Department official who rose to be US Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago for two years. None of these accomplishments are inherently notable (including being ambassador). Primary sources mark each step: listing him among graduates from UCLA and among second louies commissioned, briefly noting his nomination and confirmation as ambassador, etc. There is a 125 word obituary that reads as if it was written by the family, and a passing mention in the review of a book. He may have been a fine, hard working fellow, but none of this adds up to multiple, independent, reliable, secondary sources containing significant coverage of him, so he does not meet WP:GNG and should not be the subject of a stand alone article.

 * Delete Non-notable military career, office jobs and an ambassador to a small nation, none of which are notable enough for the press to write about him. I only find confirmation of the posts he's had, long way from GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
