Delete. Nothing in my article or my BEFORE suggests he meets NBIO/GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:15, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as sources are easy to find. This extreme enthusiasm from LibStar for deleting all and any articles on Canadian ambassadors is sheer deletionism. NB, Wikipedia:Introduction_to_deletion_process#Competence notes that This means articles, categories or templates should not be nominated in a routine fashion, nor because one feels too lazy to check for sources, or if the content is still being built or improved.

Keep and improve sourcing. I see sources that make me lean towards notability. I also see he remained relevant a decade after office, being published in an article about Canada leaving NATO (https://www.jstor.org/stable/40203276). The article has sourcing issues, but I refuse to believe there are no outstanding print sources for the Canadian ambassador to East Germany in office towards the end of the Cold War. Not ripe for deletion. Jo7hs2 (talk) 14:55, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - neither of the keep !votes above is actually based in policy. Not nearly enough in-depth coverage to show they meet WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:50, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Unsourced BLP. Fails GNG and BIO. The only "source" in the article is not about the subject. Jo7hs2 BEFORE showed the only a single primary nothing else worth reporting, other Keep showed nothing. My BEFORE showed nothing, Keep voters haven't offerred anything other than a single primary, article itself is unsourced since the ref isn't about the subject. BLPs need clearly IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notabilty to avoid abuse. // Timothy :: talk 18:02, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the notability criteria for Wikipedia are meant to ensure that the encyclopedia contains articles about subjects that have received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. If there is not enough evidence to support the subject's notability, then it may be appropriate to consider deleting the article. Infinity Knight (talk) 12:00, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
