Fails WP:BIO. There is no inherent notability of ambassadors . those wanting to keep must show evidence of significant coverage. All I could was one line mentions confirming he was an ambassadors. LibStar (talk) 15:18, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. One minor embassy covering two insignificant island states does not give notability. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As an ambassador, which, in my opinion and that of others, qualifies an individual for inclusion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:26, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

there is no inherent notability of ambassadors. Does this person get sufficient coverage to meet WP:BIO? what sources have you found. LibStar (talk) 09:20, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative keep - this person served as ambassador during an extremely crucial time in history - the Cuban revolution. Could more sources be found? See also Canada–Cuba relations. Bearian (talk) 22:07, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While ambassadors are not inherently notable, I concur with Bearian that this was an important post when Anderson was appointed in September 1959. I hope someone with access to a good Canadian library can help fill in more about him. I added one more source to the article. --Bejnar (talk) 06:32, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
