Ambassadors are not inherently notable. No significant coverage to meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 04:24, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I found some sources, but it's just mentions. I'm not sure I understand what makes an ambassador notable, but this one doesn't look like he is. And the article looks like LinkedIn, not an encyclopedia data. KhinMoTi (talk) 11:50, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep. The sourcing here is clearly terrible, but Collecott had a significant career and there are plenty of good sources on Google books, Google scholar, and Jstor. Apart from that, a CMG is surely "a well-known and significant award or honor", which is enough for WP:ANYBIO. Moonraker (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * There are no sources in JSTOR. The gbooks hits are not indepth failing WP:SIGCOV. The gscholar hits look mainly small mentions and thus fails WP:SIGCOV. LibStar (talk) 23:46, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * It always helps to search also with initials. Anyway, I have spent a little time improving the citations. Sources are easy to find. Moonraker (talk) 10:44, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. Not enough information to warrant a stand alone article. Any important information can be included in the article about British ambassadors to Brazil. Sagsbasel (talk) 09:03, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep As Moonraker mentions above, he has a CMG. He is also listed in Who's Who which seems to give him at least 2 of the WP:ANYBIO criteria --Mgp28 (talk) 18:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing the reference to Who's Who as this is apparently not a national biographical dictionary, but the CMG honour still seems notable. --Mgp28 (talk) 17:42, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The CMG has always been held to meet the criteria of WP:ANYBIO #1. Sufficient sourcing to meet WP:GNG in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:56, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
