The article's single source is his CV. Ambassadors have no presumption of notability under WP:NPOL (see also WP:POLOUTCOMES). Searches of the usual Google types, including by Bengali name ("মোহাম্মদ আলী সরকার"), found echoes of a government press release each time he's moved to a new position or presents his credentials, and a smattering of "also present at the function" passing mentions, but no in-depth, independent, secondary sources. Not notable. Worldbruce (talk) 18:10, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep I added 2 reliable sources and subject meets WP:POLOUTCOMES. Also His bio is on Wikipedia in two other languages which are not his native language.Fatzaof (talk) 14:05, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Neither of the added sources (an embassy web page and a photo) is independent of him, so neither helps establish notability. The existence of an article on a language version of Wikipedia doesn't mean it meets that language version's policies and guidelines. It may only mean that no one has gotten around to deleting it yet. Furthermore, each language version of Wikipedia operates according to its own policies and guidelines, set by those who edit there, so whether a biography of him exists on other Wikipedias is irrelevant to the question of whether it should exist here. Which of the 11 bullet points of WP:POLOUTCOMES does he meet, and how? --Worldbruce (talk) 14:41, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
