I PRODed this article but another editor disagreed as the subject was ‘clearly notable.’ Of the two sources provided one is dead and the other says that the subject is being sent to Belgium, not the UN as described in the article. Apart from this I literally can’t find anything about him, so even if some ambassadors are notable, I don’t think this one is. There are other individuals of the same name who come up in searches.

Delete diplomats at this level are just plain non-notable, and he has no other claim to notability that the diplomatic functionary postion.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:38, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I found many sources, although many are in non-English languages, some appear to be about a relative with a similar name who plays soccer, and some are just in passing. I added a couple of what I could find, and tagged it for unreliable sources. If someone could translate this it would be great. Anyway, I'm on the record for trying to save this stub.

Thanks @Bearian:. There are a lot of people in multiple generations with the same name. For example the google book link you mentioned and asked for a translation of is about a different person who it says was killed by Serb forces in the First World War. I also found sources about other people with the same name, but not this one. If you can share the sources you’ve found I’ll take a look at them. Mccapra (talk) 04:27, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian I agree that the first source you’ve added is the right person but as it is only the mention of his name in a long list of people, it doesn’t add any weight to arguments for his notability. I’m removing the second ref you added as it seems to be about a different person with the same name. The subject of the article was a diplomat in 1983 and still a diplomat in 2008. The other person is a lawyer who’s been in practice since 1991. Mccapra (talk) 07:48, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:GNG. Although Bearian did a credible effort, there is just not enough significant sources on this diplomat to warrant inclusion.4meter4 (talk) 14:36, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
