No offense to the person who wrote this, but this article is a mess. This seems extremely promotional and reads like a resume, and does not appear to be encyclopedic. However, it does seem this person is probably notable (apparently they were an ambassador, which would pass WP:NBIO). There's also several more issues with it, which you can check in the page's multiple issues template (it's quite a large one). Thereby I decided it was best it was left up to a deletion discussion.

Much of the "multiple issues" template is inaccurate and/or redundant. I would suggest that the nominator rewrites it to only flag genuine issues once each. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:51, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment subject seems to be notable, further improvements need to be made for it appear to encyclopedic. Agreed per Phil Bridger Ceethekreator (talk) 23:59, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify This article is a mess. However that list of improvement tags is super unhelpful. Send to draft space so that an article on a notable person can be cleaned up (the nom is correct that this is CV-like) and brought back in an acceptable way to mainspace (even if it's much shorter or incomplete as compared to today).

Nominator comment - pruned the improvement tags to only list those still relevant. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 20:39, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or draftify. This is so poorly written that I honestly can't make heads or tails of whether he passes WP:NPOL or not, and is referenced almost entirely to bad sources rather than reliable ones. If somebody is willing to take a stab at rewriting it in comprehensible language and finding better sources to properly demonstrate his notability, then no prejudice against recreation — but this, as written, is so bad that the blow it up and start over principle pertains.
