The result was redirect to List of Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Madagascar. Consensus that the article does not meet the notability guidelines as an individual article, and redirect seems to fit most rationales best. Davewild (talk) 08:14, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No claim or evidence of notability. I don't think being a country's ambassador will suffice on its own. Dmol (talk) 22:03, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete fails WP:BIO. being from a major country doesn't add to notability either. No inherent notability of ambassadors. LibStar (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There are news results about him in English and French. Being an ambassador for a country as prominent as the UK is generally notable as typically only people of high esteem are given this role. Elgatodegato (talk) 14:39, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
