Fails WP:BIO. As shown in other AfDs , Ambassadors are not inherently notable, the only coverage I found merely confirms he was ambassador, and he was rather unremarkable in that role. LibStar (talk) 15:44, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not notable, but he had notable friends. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 09:36, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - he had a storied career for a diplomat, having been posted in several exotic locales, but he does not seem to have gotten much notice for it. Diplomats are not automatically notable, but often are, due to significant media coverage. Bearian (talk) 22:44, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
