Article of low relevance considering it is the biography of a living person and a current politician WP:BASIC. Alon9393 (talk) 22:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, Ambassadors are not considered presumptively notable. The article has only one reference, and (WP:NEXIST!) I can't find any coverage in reliable sources focusing on the individual himself; only WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS that verify he was, indeed, an ambassador. No significant coverage of his involvement in any major diplomatic event, either, nor his involvement in crafting any important treaty or bilateral agreement — two criteria which WP:DIPLOMAT (merely an essay, I know!) says may suggest notability. A minor, non-notable figure who doesn't merit an article. GhostOfNoMeme 22:36, 10 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

  Searches of Google Books and Google Scholar also yield nothing of value, either. Almost entirely just passing mentions in various years' issues of the Statesman's Yearbook which do nothing beyond confirm his role as ambassador, as in "Ambassador: Ghirmai Ghebremariam" in the list of diplomatic representatives under the entry for Eritrea.

• Delete GhostOfNoMeme's searches demonstrate that WP:BIO is not met. Ambassadors are not inherently notable. LibStar (talk) 02:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
• Weak keep. I’ve been able to verify that the subject has been ambassador to four countries. However, the coverage is bare bones. I’m leaving it up to the community to decide if he passes SIGCOV. Bearian (talk) 02:46, 15 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

  Being ambassador to 4 countries isn't a criterion for notability. LibStar (talk) 23:30, 15 September 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
