Ambassadors are not inherently notable. I don't see anything about this diplomat that qualifies her as notable under any other rationale. Flaming Ferrari (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She was quoted and interviewed frequently during her ambassadorship, as a cursory Google search will show. (Some may refer to ambassadors as mere spokespeople for their governments, but such a position isn't supported by the sources.) She also received an OBE, admittedly a relatively junior order.

Keep - she seems to have a pretty distinguished career, with more accomplishments sure to come. Bearian (talk) 21:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and WP:TROUT for the nominator. This is getting silly now. Notability experts at Oxford University Press have judged her notable. She has an OBE which is usually regarded as an award of small but not insignificant significance and enough to keep us interested. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
