fails WP:BIO. ambassadors are not inherently notable even if you are ambassador to Russia. he gets zero gnews coverage for his name in English. I tried searching his name in Russian and all I could find is a few small one line mentions. LibStar (talk) 01:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Ambassador of any country to Russia is clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:17, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

here we go again. Maybe you can actually look for sources which you never do in ambassador AfDs . There is no inherent notability of being ambassador to Russia. Several have been deleted including where you have previously !voted.

And others have been kept, as you know very well! -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:12, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But there is no inherent notability of being an ambassador to Russia as you know very well. And each ambassador AfD you make zero attempt to find sources that would establish WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 14:28, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wikipedia's systemic bias against figures like Attakurov, who is ambassador from a former Soviet Republic to Russia, should give us pause before deleting such figures. We should solicit editors with Russian language skills to find information, which I believe definitely exists based on the importance of his position.--TM 17:38, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

you have failed to explain how this person meets WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no evidence in coverage in reliable sources. Wikipedia is not meant to right wrongs, we do not create articles to force change in sources, we create articles that are based in coverage in reliable sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:06, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Please note that WP:DIPLOMAT is only an essay and not a widely accepted one at that. It is certainly not in any way approaching a policy or guideline. And how does the article fail WP:NOT? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:24, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
