Keep. Canadian Ambassador to Japan and then West Germany? That seems pretty notable to me per WP:COMMONSENSE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:11, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep agree that ambassadors on their own aren't notable, but he seems to have some individual notability. He has an entry in the Manitoba Historical Society as a Memorable Mantioban [1], and some searches of newspapers (especially from his postings in Venezuela and West Germany) have articles quoting him during diplomatic incidents. I think there's enough notability there to keep. -- R45 ^talk! 21:03, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
