Michael Wolff (consul-general)

Delete per GNG and NATHLETE.

A consul is, itself, not notable and an honorary consul less so. The subject's only other claims to fame is that he was allegedly "the first person to skydive and scuba dive the North Pole on the same day" which is sourced to two personal travel essays, and that he was captain of the Austrian team at the 2001 BASE jumping championship which is credited to a source that doesn't actually support this statement (and I'm not sure qualifies under NATHLETE even if it did).

On a separate note, this seems to be written by someone very close to Wolff. Most of the content since its creation in 2011 was added by one of three burner SPAs: User:Michelemier User:Henryhiggens, User:Sebastianhiggins. The images of Wolff are glamour shots credited as "own work" by one of them, and the entire tone of the article is highly promotional. Chetsford (talk) 16:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
