Delete He does not pass politician notability. Diplomats are not all passing politician notability, the article does not suggest he was ever in a position that falls under the politician guidelines. Diplomats require significant coverage in reliable 3rd party sources which is lacking here.

comment I'm still new to Wikipedia as you can probably tell, thank you for your input. I understand that he does not pass wp:politician now. — Preceding

Delete. We used to have a consensus that all diplomats were extended an "inherent" notability freebie regardless of their sourceability or lack thereof — but that's since been deprecated, and diplomats now qualify for articles only if they can be properly sourced over
WP:GNG. That means journalistic coverage about him and his work in real media, not just "staff profile" verification on the embassy's own
self-published website about itself — but the sole source here is the latter, not the former. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually find the correct type and depth of sourcing to write much more than just that he exists.

Delete Only one source so based on this doesn't meet notability.
