Per the previous deletion discussion, but re-nominating since this contains new sources compared to the article six years ago, making WP:G4 iffy at best. The sources currently in an article are an interview and a biography published by a university, neither of which satisfy "significant coverage in reliable, independent sources".

 * Keep - If I do a quick search, I can find a few more articles specifically about stuff she was doing as an ambassador that haven't been cited yet, such as Australian diplomat for increasing bilateral trade, diplomat unveils aid programme in Quetta, Australian high commissioner bids farewell, etc... and it seems she was involved in a diplomatic controversy in Papua New Guinea in 2012 and signed an open letter this year criticising the Australian government's climate stance. There's also some more interviews and non-independent sources that could be used, like this interview and Margaret Adamson: Witness to change. There's probably more sources too for her career previous to the 2010s that aren't as easily searchable online. So it seems to me like there's enough sources to build a reliable article that's more than just a stub. NHCLS (talk) 11:41, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * KEEP. Ambassador is notable. Has sufficient references. SWP13 (talk) 16:25, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think WP:BASIC appears to be supported, I also found The Express Tribune 2017, e.g. "In her time in Pakistan, High Commissioner Adamson has also been a strong advocate for the rights of women and girls.", The Express Tribune 2019, e.g. "Adamson, a senior career diplomat with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade serving previously as ambassador to Poland and Cambodia, was at the centre of efforts to retrieve some bodies of the 10 Pakistanis who had perished in the horrific Christchurch mosque attacks", and she co-authored an open letter in The Express Tribune in 2018 in support of transgender rights.

 * Keep, as there are many more sourcesJackattack1597 (talk) 21:01, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
