 * Keep. I found some additional references by searching for the person's name, restricted to the country where he was posted. That is, I searched for "Tim Cole" site:cu. This is often the best way to find additional references about an ambassador or other diplomat. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources presented in the article don't pass WP:GNG since they're either not secondary or not independent, and are often indiscriminate references to the "British ambassador." SportingFlyer  T · C  16:42, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
