List of Japanese Diplomatic Representatives to Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic

Combination of international subjects not notable on its own. Cynof G  avuf 11:05, 11 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete given the number of possible 'X diplomats to Y country' and how few of them are notable, I think a good case for notability needs to be made. I don't see it here.David V Houston (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Thankfully List of Ambassadors of Russia to Austria isn't up for deletion...look at the big star in the top right of that one. The fact that the article listed here only covers heads of missions (i.e. ambassadors), there is your notability right there. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 15:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete without prejudice towards any other combination of diplomats or foreign relations articles. While this not not seem to be a notable topic, I can image there might be other lists of diplomats that may be notable.  Pointing to List of Ambassadors of Russia to Austria is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. A possible solution is to merge this with Japan-Czech relations or something like that. Bearian (talk) 20:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. We generally accept that heads of mission are notable. Therefore lists of heads of missions are too. No-one would argue if I went and created an article on every Japanese ambassador to the Czech Republic. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep for the same reasons given by Mkativerata and Russavia. This is a notable list with notable individuals listed on it. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:53, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Eh? If I'm reading WP:DIPLOMAT correctly, simply being a head of mission isn't taken as being enough to be notable the way, say, the chief executive of a subnational division is. —Quasirandom (talk) 01:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * People who are chosen to be the ambassador are almost always someone who is notable in some manner. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:04, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If that were true, wouldn't that be codified in WP:DIPLOMAT? —Quasirandom (talk) 14:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, because diplomats can be low-level diplomats who participate in this conference or that treaty discussion. Ambassadors are high-level diplomats, and are inheritantly notable individuals. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 14:09, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, to remove all ambiguity, the article should be renamed List of Japanese ambassadors to Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe 19:20, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
