fails WP:GNG. Iceland has never has a resident ambassador to Turkey and there is no evidence the non resident ambassador did anything noteworthy. LibStar (talk) 16:38, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a list, not an article. A core tenant of Wikipedia is that it has elements of an almanac. "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been." --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 04:21, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

delete The position itself is not inherently notable (Ambassadors as a class are not) Nor is the Turkey-Iceland relationship a particularly notable one. Although they do know how to kick a Futbol, Iceland is of little significance to diplomacy. We do not keep lists of all incumbents of non-notable government posts; not even the non-notable ambassadorial posts of major players, like Turkey.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:04, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
keep There is an free trade agreement between Turkey and EFTA (see http://www.efta.int/free-trade/free-trade-agreements/turkey). Iceland is part of EFTA and most of it's free trade agreements come from EFTA.--Snaevar (talk) 14:21, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is not specifically about the ambassador. Where is the significant coverage about the ambassador? LibStar (talk) 23:34, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - It's at least plausible that someone could be looking for information about Icelandic ambassadors to Turkey, and I see no harm in keeping this list. There's actually a really great essay on the topic, which includes quite a bit of information on the applicability of notability guidelines to list-based articles.

see WP:NOHARM. secondly there has never been a resident ambassador. LibStar (talk) 11:47, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
