Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Routine coverage here fails WP:GNG. Uhooep (talk) 16:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC) Keep This seems to be one of a number of drive-by nominations of British ambassadors. For me, the article in Times of Israel alone is enough to comply with the WP:GNG. The GNG is nothing to do with importance, so in theory an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role from journalists and academics it would be hard for one to achieve such obscurity. And what may be "routine coverage" for an ambassador is at a higher level than for less notable roles. The GNG gives this helpful definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Moonraker (talk) 13:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
