WP:BLP is sourced to a non-WP:INDEPENDENT bio and a purely incidental mention. A WP:BEFORE is somewhat foiled by the fact that a better-known person by this name, who appears to be a real estate developer, is frequently quoted. However, precedent here suggests ambassadors are not inherently notable and a Consul-General is of significantly lower rank than an ambassador. Chetsford (talk) 18:23, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, position is not presumed notable per NPOL with no indication of notability in sources. Reywas92Talk 01:54, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete position is not default notable and sourcing is inadequate.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:35, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OUTCOMES. Generally, we have deleted lower-level diplomats. Compare George S. Messersmith, who as consul general in Berlin granted Albert Einstein his visa. Bearian (talk) 00:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Consul-general to a city is not instant notability freebie in and of itself just because he exist(s/ed?), but this is not reliably sourcing that he would clear WP:GNG for it or any other reason: there's a primary source staff profile on the self-published website of an organization he's directly affiliated with, which is not support for notability at all, and there's a single newspaper article which briefly mentions Gosnell's name in the process of being fundametally about Al Gore, which is not the kind of source that vaults him over the bar all by itself.

 * Delete WP:MILL diplomat, not sourced well enough for the project anyways. SportingFlyer  T · C  18:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
