Non-notable American diplomat. Was not able to find any RS about him. Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, ambassadors are not inherently notable. Natg 19 (talk) 00:17, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ambassadors let alone acting ambassadors are not default notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ambassadors are not handed an "inherent" notability freebie just because they exist, but must be sourceable as passing WP:GNG before they qualify for Wikipedia articles. That's not what these sources are doing, however: two are primary sources, one is a newspaper article that has DeHart as its bylined author rather than its subject, and one is a WordPress blog, which means zero of them are notability-supporting sources.
