lacking notability (WP:DIPLOMAT) Colchicum (talk) 23:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously the nominator did not do any verification checking. Mwambi is a former Deputy Secretary General of the ruling Chama cha Mapinduzi party in Tanzania, and is a former regional commissioner of the Tanga Region and Rukwa Regions (equivalent to Premier, Governor, etc in other countries). So whilst notability as a diplomat is not fully there, as a Tanzanian politician he is more than notable. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 23:33, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage in reliable third-party sources, as required per the primary notability criterion and WP:POLITICIAN? At least any reliable third-party sources? Is it the same Jaka Mwambi or just another person bearing the same name? Colchicum (talk) 23:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:POLITICIAN is a proof of achievement secondary criterion. Sources found in a Google News search appear to verify enough to meet that standard. As for this possibly being some other Jaka Mwambi, ambassadors to Moscow don't come out of thin air. Unreliable sources found online say he rose through the party ranks to a nationally significant post. I don't see reasonable doubt here. • Gene93k (talk) 00:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It is indeed the same person. If you compare the photo on the article, to this photo, one can see they are one in the same. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 02:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per Russavia and per my comments above. He satisfies WP:POLITICIAN. Non-trivial RS coverage to satisfy primary notability will likely be found eventually. • Gene93k (talk) 00:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per Russavia. I think all ambassadors are notable and the guy seems also to be quite notable for his role in the Tanzania politics Alex Bakharev (talk) 01:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
