Article about a diplomat, not properly sourced as passing our inclusion driteria for diplomats. As usual, diplomats are not given an automatic notability freebie just because they exist -- to be includable in Wikipedia, a diplomat has to actually pass WP:GNG on the sourcing. But this is referenced to his primary source staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer, which is not a notability-assisting source at all, and one glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that isn't about him in any non-trivial sense, which isn't enough coverage to vault him over the bar all by itself. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to be a lot more substantive and a lot better-sourced than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG as a completely run-of-the-mill diplomat. KidAd  •  SPEAK  18:36, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete ambassarods are not default notable. Those of lower rank are almost never notable for their positions at all, and there is nothing else about this individual to even suggest notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Thoroughly fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
