Notability concerns. Ambassadors are not inherently notable by any WP:SNG, and I don't see enough coverage for this person to meet WP:GNG; this interview is purely based on his position. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral, lean keep WP:POLOUTCOMES says that "Elected and appointed political figures at the national cabinet level are generally regarded as notable" The question is - do ambassadors count as political figures under this guideline? They are usually high ranking officials, usually appointed by the ruling government, so I'd lean yes on it, therefore lean on keep. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 04:31, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no, diplomats do not qualify under WP:NPOL. No indication found that Langtry is notable - only a small percentage of career diplomats are.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:49, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did run a few searches using keywords, very little and what there is is WP:MILL, routine creeping up the career ladder with various postings, and now, Australian Ambassador to Mongolia.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:25, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
